Hey guys !
I got an A5 that is leaking from the barrel,as far i as know it should be the internal of the valve that are not sealing.
Now my question,should i buy a complete valve or just the internal,cupseal,cupseal seat and little oring for the seat ?
I dont know what is wrong with this tippmann,first the hammer go roughtly in the powertube,the stock one(have to push it hard) and i have a brand new red hot,so i did the test and try to put the hammer in it,with little pressure it went in the red hot.
Seem like the stock powertube has a default,its seem smaller at the end where the hammer should slip in to hit the pin of the valve.
This is strange because i have those problem on an almost new A5,ok it about 2 years old but the gun dont even have 500 balls fired yet and the valve is already leaking !?!?
Should i try to get a replacement even if the A5 is out of warraty ?

I would try cocking it first and then adding air to it...

put a few drops of oil in the ASA, cock the marker back, put your tank on, dry fire several times. See if that fixes it.

lubing tippmanns fixes most air leak problems. A lubed gun is a happy gun.
