I'm at my wit's end! I have the low pressure kit on my A-5 and ever since I tried to turn down the pressure on the regulator (I think it's the one that comes with the LPK - it's a Pure Energy), it either leaks out of the area where the pressure adjustment screw is or the small hole in the upper part of the regulator. I have taken the regulator completely apart and oiled the o-rings and that didn't help.

There is a definite threshhold when I adjust the pressure where it leaks out the top or bottom. I am hoping someone else knows what the issue is so I don't have to pay someone to look at it. Could it use new o-rings? They seem to be in good shape...thanks for any help in advance!

Sounds like the reg. blew a o-ring or has a bad seal or is defective. First off is it new? If so call the kit manufacturer and Pure Energy. If that doesn't solve the prob. send it back if you can. If you can't do that buy a rebuild kit for it and be very careful with instructions, inspection, and assembly.

Thanks for the reply. The reg is not new. I bought the gun used with the LPK installed and it did work with no issues out of the box, it was just when I tried to adjust the pressure on the reg that I started seeing this. I've checked all the documentation and even tried to find info here and on PMI (Pure Energy's) site, but there is nothing on how to rebuild this thing. I guess I'll try the o-rings first and see if that works. Thanks again!
