Thanks a bunch it helps a lot, also im used to leaver pens so I was trying out this touchdown system and it is creating suction on the up stroke instead of the down, is this normal?

[PAKMAN]

Have you put a new sac on it yet?

[corbin]

I havent been able to make it to the store so ive been running water through it, will the sac solve the stroke issue?

[corbin]

Also would this take the same ink sac as a normal touchdown?

[Ernst Bitterman]

The sac size is the same as the TM touchdowns and the Imperials. For pedantry's sake, it's a Sheaffer 800... but people will get a better picture in their head if you say Dolphin.

I went ahead and ive got a new sac installed and got a new o ring on it, however when I fill it bubbles appear in the ink bottle on the downstroke but the pen then takes in ink. It holds it fine so is there anything to worry about?

That is Exactly the way it's Supposed to work.
