Ahh! Thats your Power-Tube! Screw those screws in tight (Not too tight, you might crack the plastic!)
Hopefully it didnt break when they popped off. |

Then you'd have to call Tippmann, and have a replacement one sent to you. Most of the time they will send you one free of charge. Put the 2 screws in securely, and air it up. If it leaks, it might be broken.

Another classic case of overtightened valve bolts. The guy who installed it overtighten these screws which stripped the threads on the valve body. Then he just placed them back in, and the force of the bolt knocked them out. You must get a new valve or valve body or you will have serious problems. Buying two new screws wont solve anything, the threads that they go into are stripped not them. The valve body is aluminum and the screws are steel so these strip out very easily and frequently. You will need a new valve so call Tippmann and order one ($30). |

30$ thats a rip off, seriously. I bet i can make the same body in china with the factory machines for 3 or less pennies. I'm gonna go to the guy and ask for new install part thing for free or whatever after all he did the mistake not me. |

The warrenty will probaly cover it if you still have it. Its pretty easy to machine a new body but it must be precise and youd have to be a machinist. You could ask a machine shop to copy it for you which probaly wouldnt be much. Or you can just buy a new valve body ($16) and transplant the valve parts. But it isnt very easy.
