Pete,

Have you had problems with the Jetsam/KISS booster?

Brian

Yes.

1 Seals wearing out.

2 Pistons jamming in bore.

For 1 & 2 see " Baby booster "

3 Valves not seating.

But, it did the job, it flew with me around the world boosting into my cylinders in exotic places.

Then I got the Haskel......... Seals are wonderful, multilayered with bronze bearings built in. The bores are polished. The exhaust from the drive gas cools the cylinders. There is absolute separation of drive gas to driven gas. The valves in the heads work and work and work and..... I can push a cylinder to the pressure I want, not just to the limits of the booster.

The whole thing is better. But, it's a lot heavier, and at a price. The Jetsam booster is great for the price, and it's light.
