I got a brand new CMB gas QD and when testing for leaks I noticed bubbles slowly leaking out of the poppet. This will only be a problem when not connected, but dang does it annoy me.
Before using it I disassembled it just for a quick look and to check if the cap was on tight. Could this have put the poppet in a slightly different position than it had been in for some time in the QD causing improper sealing on the poppet gasket? I have 2 other CMB gas QDs that are stored disassembled. These also leaked in the same spot, that made me wonder about the poppet possition, and maybe it getting better over time.
Is this normal? Is there anything I can do?
