Ok so I just installed the complete techt kit, cyclone upgrade and zero kick hammer, and change from a response trigger to an egrip. Got it all installed... Aired it up.. No leaks. Took it outside just to shoot a few blank (no paintballs) and I get air leaking from the tombstone area. I have taken it all back apart again.. Made sure the washer and the oring are properly installed for the tombstone. When I first air it up.. It's fine.. After I fire once.. It just leaks.. And I'm slowly running out of air to keep trying this. I'm at a loss... It doesn't look like the cyclone worked either, also the response trigger everything is still installed.. I just tightened the flow control set screw all the way. But it leaks right out of the tombstone area... Any idea??? Thank you for your time!
I also took it all back apart again checked the small oring on the valve reinstalled everything lubed orings and pieces. Took it outside to fire, fired like crazy by itself.. then air began pouring out of the tombstone area and the barell, when i put my hand over the barell the tone changed. I only have about 1200 psi left now :-/. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time!!

first of all how much air did you have when you started? If you were low to begin with filling your tank can answer all your questions. however if you already had a full tank make sure if its air that you have a HPA tank and not LPA. All tippmann markers run on HPA even the new phenom is recommended to run on HPA, if you run a low pressure air system there might not be enough pressure to operate all accessories (CFS,R/T, etc..). Lastly i would check the tombstone latch. If it is cracked or missing the tombstone will not seal against the valve causing leaks. hope this helps, if not call tippmanns service line, they are the best.
