I have a brand new A-5 E.
Only thing I have done to it is replace the stock plastic tube with a red hot power tube.
today I hooked up my PMI 88/4500 tank to it by remote.. and before i even get it sealed all the way on.. I have air shooting out of the barrel etc.. I know that's not supposed to happen.
Wondering what some of u experience guys think it could be? maybe i re asembled it incorrectly? I don't think I did.. but I have tons of air constantly shooting though the barrel before I can even open up the remote all the way
Help? |

Make sure your valve o-ring is in place and oiled.

Is the marker cocked when you try to air it up? If not your hammer is most likely sitting on the Valve releasing Air.

I check those things.. everyhting seems to be in order... it is possible it's my air tank? because it seems to push out air even when I would think it's not supposed to.
i guess my question is is it normal for a tank when screwed in to shoot air through a gun at all times... I bought the tank used and got it filled today so who knows if it is the tank maybe?
yes I am a noob and i am frustrated as they come. |

It doesnt sound like the tank. It sounds like the valve Replace the aftermarket powertube with the stock one, and see what happens.

| Did you dry fire it with no tombstone????If yes, you popped your oring out in the powertube, and probably the washer that holds the spring in the powertube. |
