Leaking valve, X7?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello everybody, my first post! 
Having what I belive is a leaking valve. Just want it confirmed since it is my first paintball marker. And since it's brand new (well have played one game). To the problem; I cock the gun, hook up my HPA tank via an remote to the marker. No hiss. I fire one ball and it starts to hiss. I disconnect and reconnect and the hiss stops. And fire and it starts to hiss again.. It must be the valve, right? I´ve took out the valve and looked at the o-rings and there is nothing wrong with them. Could it be a faulty valve stem(?) from the factory? Any ideas anyone? Can't help but feeling a little disapointed..

	What pressure tank are you running? If it's a low pressure output HPA tank you could have problems. Tippmanns prefer to run on a high pressure output tank.

	It's a 3000 psi tank.. But can the (low) pressure really make it leak?! Even with fully charged tank? Seems weird to me? Anyhow I sent it back to the store I bought it from, I really hope they're fast so I can play some more this summer!
