Tippmann 98c blowing co2

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

   Got a marker off ebay the other day. Supposedly hasn't been used, but I can't be sure. Played with it today and it was working beautifully. Changed the tank between games, and fired about 2 or 3 test shots then it started blowing co2 like crazy. Wouldn't stop until I removed the tank. Disassembled at home, and I think it's between the power tube & valve. (I'm a complete noob to paintball, today was my first trip, but I am mechanically minded so I"m trying to figure it out) When I took a almost empty tank in line to just the adapter/gasline/valve/power tube it sprays.

So,
1. Any suggestions as to the problem/solution.
2. Can the valve be removed from the power tube? I didn't look like it is made to be removed, so I thought I should ask before I "encouraged" it.

Thanks for your help!

	Well I got the Valve out, and there is an oring half way shot out of it. "Well there's your problem!" right. Only question now is, Open the valve and put it back, or replace the valve because if it came out one it will come out again?
