I recently bought a Low Comp air system for my A-5 , I assembled it as per instruction and fitted a PMI Secondary Regulator , Now as soon as I Connect my HPA it leaks Air through the Valve {I think} the air is coming out the front were the barrel screws on. Replies:

The same exact thing happened to me when i first installed my comp-air on my a-5. Make sure you cock it before you turn on the air. And also make sure that your tank has enough air in it to run. ------------- Live Strong Wear Yellow |

| Yeah, mine still does that when I'm not paying attention. It says in the instructions, I believe, that you're supposed to cock the A-5 before gassing it up. |

Make sure you have enough pressure feeding into the valve too. -------------  |

Hmmmm......I'm not too familar with the low pressure kit but I know my A-5 and it once leaked throught the barrel and that is caused by either a bad o-ring or lack there of in the port for the tombstone adapter. They can sometimes pop out when you take the gun apart and you just have to wedge one back in the little notch.

proboably so, see if there is an o-ring on the barrel that you can replace... ------------- 98c Flatline Polished Internals Trigger Stop Double Trigger 32* Remote Redz 2and1 harness Stinless Steel Bolts Those who see me fear me, those who don't see me fear me more - Semper Fi |

1)Make sure you don't have an almost empty tank. 2)Make sure your gun is cocked. 3)Open up your valve and clean off the cup seal of any debris. 4)Make sure you valve's orings are in good shape. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

The LP valve has a very light plunger. At rest the hammer applies enough pressure to open it up slightly. With a stock valve this does not happen. The first reccomendation should be correct, ------------- Didn't I say, "No Guns for the Monkey?"
