Ya Is stripped one of the screws tot he valve in my power tube while putting my gun back together. Ive done it a million times but thats never happened before. Do I have to buy a whole new Valve or does a Rufus Dawg Powertube come with a valve already in it. Also would it hold with just one screw in it because only one is stripped. Thanks for the help.

read the stickies for some helpful hints on repairing the valve body screwholes , or purchase a new valve (Tippmann might even send you one free , call'em and find out ) and keep the damaged valve for a backup .

It wont work right with only one screw holding it it , and No the power tube does not come with a new CVX valve in it .

Tippmann will probably replace it for free.
