    Posted: 04 June 2007 at 9:55am

Ok, I was shooting my gun at my house the other day and it was working fine but when I took it to the field today it was leaking air out of an area on the right of the gun, near the 3-way. I was wondering if anyone could help me out and see if I could do this myself rather than taking it to the local airsmith. Sometimes I would have to push this piece of metal(in picture) forward for it to stop leaking air, in which the bolt would not always cock right and everything. Do I need to just re-time it or something? Thanks for the help. I don't even know where to start, constructive replies only please.

And I know, my paint skills are bad.

And I've noticed that when It leaks, if I push the timing rod forward, I guess into the 3 way body or something, the leak will stop.

Sorry about the triple post, I need help though please.s

Well it sounds like your 3 way is leaking. It probably is just a stock WGP 3 way. or it might be a shocktech 3 way. You will need to get some new O-rings. Or your LPR might be overcharging or undercharging.

Its probably just badly timed, combined with a leaky 3-way.

Turn up your low pressure regulator, that should stop the leak. Then time it.

loosen the set screw on the cuppler attaching the 3way to the rod. then turn it untill it stops leaking and tighten the set screw.
