    Posted: 17 September 2005 at 10:23pm

I just got a used A5 and everytime I connect the co2 all the co2 shoots out the barrel and the back of the gun.  I have done a complete o-ring change.  When I used HPA today it only did it once.  When it starts to leak I have the marker cocked and I shoot it a few times but it still leakes abd ices up the tombstone and most of the gun.

 

Any ideas what is wrong and how to fix it?

Did the complete o-ring change include the o-ring on the actual metal valve inside the plastic power tube? If it didn't check that.
NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

did you remove the valve from the powertube, or just change the o-ring in the tombstone slot?

I removed the valve from the power tube BUT they tippmann o-ring kit that I bought did not have the smaller o-ring to fit on the back side of the valve.  I am thinking that I neec a new valve.
