1. The brass tube on the side of the tube that the hose plugs into should have a small opening about the size of a thin wire (like the wire in a twist tie).
2. Take the control valve out of the front of the Model G, unscrew the knob and check to see if the rubber O ring is seated in between two thin ridges of plastic. If the front piece of the plastic knob is broken and not holding the O ring in place the valve will leak from one chamber to another and the front of the G will open. | ||

I used the stripped twist tie in the brass nipple to remedy the same situation in my Model G. Since that didn't work for you, try blowing through the clear tubes to dislodge any blockages. | ||

These are genuine crevice tools for a tan G and a turquoise G . If your using an aftermarket tool that is too small it may be chocking the air flow through the machine causing it to pop prematurely . Uhhumm on that last phrase.

I was talking with an old retired elux friend of mine about this and he said maybe its your bag. He said some of the plastic body models of the 90s would do this if cheap generic bags were used. Maybe this is the case with the old metal G.
Some of the generic bags are great but there are some that are terrible. Just a thought. | ||

Those bags your using are from like the 70's . I would try some new ones they may rip on you and flood the motor with sand and dust. | ||
