okay so i was cleaning my gun and my powertube fell apart, i took it to my proshop and got the guy to help me fix and i brought it home put it in the gun(A-5) and i thought 'yay its working again' i gas'd it up and fired the times and all the suddenly air started rushin out the barrel with a loud hissing noise. can anyone tell me whats going on and how to fix it. btw, i took it back down to the proshop and asked the guy about it and he said i need a new valve, but usually they want you to spend as much money as you can. is there an eaiser way to do this? ------------- Canadians do it on top.

if you have the manual for your gun/valve, take the valve apart to make shure the guy didn't put it back together wrong.. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

| check all your orings and make sure nothing is sticking. Oil everything while assembling. |

Sounds like your valve is shot. I dont believe a power tube could cause that unless its cracked, but that would be obvious. Try replacing O-rings on your valve, that might help it. ------------- *Team Compulsive* Sponsors *Won-Ago-Biking* *Curleys Waterfront* |

unscrew the 2 powertube screws at the side of ure gun and check to c if the back part of the powertube is cracked. if it isnt then it is ure valve. my valve broke a month ago and i sent it to tippmann. they replaced it for free. they are awesome. so if u want to do that then just send them the powertube and valve and write a note telling them what the problem is. ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom -Response Trigger -Double Trigger -32 Degrees NightStick Barrel -Pen Spring Mod -Straw Mod -Polished Internals -Co2 -18 bps "You are unique...just like everyone else" |
