Alrighty. Ive been playing for a couple of years and just bought an expensive a5. I went ahead and lubed it, played a few games and a couple weeks later took it apart only after discovering i broke a few balls in there. After i did this i was to discover a problem. My marker isnt getting enough co2 to shoot ten feet. I tried 3 different tanks, ajusting the velocity screw and no, i dont use a remote. Any help |

check the powertube for cracks, check you o rings for breaks and leaks. other than that i am not sure. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

Well i cant hear a leak. How many times are you supposed to turn the tube into the tombstone? i think thats the problem. I have to turn the cyclone a few times also to get a ball in the chamber, which would mean not enough co2. Any help? |

edit: nm, asked a dumb question.
Anyway, when you put everything together did you use teflon tape or any other sealant on the threads of the air parts? Also, make sure you didn't put the ball detent in backward. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

No, didnt use any tape or anything on the threads. Im fairly sure i put the ball indent in right. Would that really constrict co2 that much? |

Are you sure the Valve assembly is correct? A lot of people have the oring/washer fall out of the valve after pulling the tombstone out... 2nd do you have a stock? the rear spring might be too light now, and isn't hammering the valve hard enough |
