Check your valve screws on the right side of the gun. Make sure you dont strip them, and use locktite. |

Take your gun apart and look for any missing O-rings. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

Firstly, what is your gun? Sounds like a problem with your valve. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

Funny. From the hollow comment, YOU FORGOT TO TAKE YOUR CVX OUT OF THE OLD POWERTUBE AND PUT IT IN THE "PRO SEAL" POWERTUBE. My suggestion- the pro seal is crap, doesn't do anything except make your gun operate worse, and too much trouble to be worth anything. Just put the old powertube back in, and make sure you ask before falling for marketing hype. Sorry you lost about 30 bucks. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

Was the marker cocked? If it wasn't cocked, then the bolt is putting pressure on the valve and releasing CO2 and its a simple "fix". If you had the marker cocked, then we need more info about the type of marker. ------------- A-5: 12" Ceramic, Egrip/WAS/Duel, HPA, MP5 sliding stock SMG-68: 12" Ceramic 68-Specials(8): 12"&14" Ceramic, 12V Revy *** 1 Tip-n-Strip, 1 Blue, 1 FA w/Qloader SL-68: 14" Ceramic SMG-60 Ext.

Are you guys listening? He said the valve pin is missing. He also said his new powertube the "Pro Seal" is hollow. Let's see... carry the 1... divide by 2... multiply by the reciprocle of the integrated geometric mean... oh yeah he didn't put the CVX in the new powertube. Push the CVX out of the old powertube, then push it back into the new one. Just make sure you're careful. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

If you find a hole in the tank, DO NOT WELD IT. My friend told me that his tank had a hole in the side... (He used up all the CO2, and then dropped it down a steep incline) So he says "I'm thinking of welding it shut and then refilling it." I just dropped my jaw and asked him if he wanted to have a grenade blow up inches from him. Just throw the tank away if it is damaged beyond repair. Dont be stupid.

LOL, I completely skipped over the originator's second posting after typing in "did you have it cocked?" so often. It TOTALLY sounds like LordJovian was right and the valve (and possibly even the bolt) were never installed into the new power tube. But I would NOT suggest to follow what LordJovian said to do in his second posting, but instead go with the advice from his first. Leave your valve in the plastic power tube (unless it is broken then contact Tippmann for a replacement) and get rid of the Pro Seal one. I also have an aluminum Pro Seal Powertube and it looks great ... in my parts box covered in dust. ------------- A-5: 12" Ceramic, Egrip/WAS/Duel, HPA, MP5 sliding stock SMG-68: 12" Ceramic 68-Specials(8): 12"&14" Ceramic, 12V Revy *** 1 Tip-n-Strip, 1 Blue, 1 FA w/Qloader SL-68: 14" Ceramic SMG-60 Ext.

How does the valve come out of the power tube? Is it screwed in place cause mine won't just slide out. I'm having problems with my A-5 too, and I think it might be the valve. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Flatline Barrel & PT Shroud 12" Lapco Bigshot & Machine Gun Shroud E-grip & JCS Double Trigger JCS Voodoo Stock w/ RVA Lapco Milsim Foregrip 32 Degrees Remote Crossfire 68/4500 |
