Hey, I recently repainted my Tippmann, and in the process I stripped the valve. I order a replacement, hook everything up, and now my RT isnt working. I adjust the little screw and no matter which direction, there is no change. A couple times, it worked well, but liquid CO2 was coming out everywhere. Then it would stop. I have no clue, any ideas? -------------

I'd rather not, because I have voided the warrentee.....
Also, I am about to sell it and want to minimize costs.... P.S. I think your sig is larger than what the rules allow  -------------

no, I turn the adjustment screw in/out and nothing happens. ONCE IN A WHILE It starts to kick in for about 15 seconds, then stops. During that time, CO2 is coming out of every hole........
I dont think it is getting enough air through the screw in the power tube. And yes, I have the right screw in there. The one with the hole.... -------------

I think I fixed it. I didn't notice, but the valve that Tippmann sent me didn't have an o-ring on it. I need to get more CO2 before I can test it though.... -------------

A missing external valve o-ring will without a doubt cause this. This is because blowback gases that would normaly be traveling through the RT line, is vented out with the other gas to the rear bolt. -------------

I'm not insulting your intelligence, if you've done this already then
good; take it all apart, check every o-ring, ensure the cvx valve is in
correctly, put some oil on all the o-rings, check where the banjo
fittings screw in to ensure theres nothing blocking those little
holes. Good luck

I checked that even though it was a brand new valve directly from Tippmann! But in case I missed something, Is there supposed to be a constant stream of air from the valve through the fittings if you have the adjustment screw backed all the way out? -------------

^ No there should not be constant flow through that. If that happens it means theres a bad seal in your valve and air would also be leaking through the barrel. Try taking apart your airflow adjustment fitting and check everything in there. -------------

It does NOT have a constant air flow, I think maybe the adjustment fitting is bad.... I am taking it to the shop tomorrow. -------------
