Need Help For Parker 21 Ink Vomiting Problem

[egealt]

Hello guys, today ive found a pen inside my dads drawer. Its a parker 21. I had no available converter for this pen so I just washed the old cartridge and filled it with Pelikan royal blue ink.

 

It started to vomit as i used it. It still keeps on vomiting even the times when i dont use it. Can you help me how to fix it? Is it a common problem among parker21s?

As you can see theres ink on cartridge and even if you cant see ink spills from nib part too.

Can you see the slit on the top of the cartridge? Can this cause the problem?

This looks like a Parker 45 NOT a P21. Any modern Parker converter will fit as will Parker ink cartridges. I have seen conflicting information on whether or not Lamy converters will fit--- if you have a Lamy laying around you might try it.

I can't see the crack--- the photo isn't detailed enough--- but that could indeed cause the problem by creating an air leak.

Thank you for your help.

I dont know whether its a P45 or P21 and i cant confirm it as my dad couldnt remember it.

I will have a lamy converter in a few weeks than i can try it unless the problem is solved. And since i cant use international standard cartridges with parker theres nothing i can do until i buy one right?

Parker 45

 

A cracked seal will cause an air/ink leak.

 

Get a Parker converter or Parker cartridge ink.
