My gun was leaking air out of the powertube assembly, so after some reading I took the whole thing apart, including the valve. I didn't really notice anything that would cause it to leak like this. I oiled up all the o-rings, cleaned the works, and sealed it back up. I've narrowed it down to the valve. Could this be the problem or is there something I am missing.

If thats where its leaking from then it is definetely the valve. I would suggest putting about 5 or so drops of oil in the little hole in the ASA and then fire the gun about 20 to 30 times. This will work the oil throughout the inside of the valve. Make sure you have your barrel off when you are doing this so you don't coat the inside of your barrel with oil. If this doesn't work then you will most likely have to replace the valve. Valves don't cost much and can be ordered from Tippmannparts.com
Edit: make sure the leak isn't coming from the cannection between the gas line and the power tube. If this is the case then you would just need to tighten the gas line or retape it using teflon tape. Edited by GThomas - 10 June 2006 at 11:25pm |
