Turned white because of the cold? You're kidding! Cock the marker first next time. Read the manual. -------------

Did you cycle the bolt (hammer) and fire the marker while all this "leaking" was going on? And I am going to have to ask the obvious, why didn't you unscrew the tank? So CO2 was coming out of every nook and cranny...one would have to conclude that the poppet valve in the power valve body was jammed wide open...somehow. Have you ever had the marker apart? How long since the last time you used the marker before this incident? Have you read the stickies on how to disassemble the valve?
A new valve from Tippmann Parts will run you about $30, plus shipping. If you don't install it yourself there will be another $20 cost. If you think you can install it yourself then first go to the trouble to take the defective one out and try to understand the problem. -------------
