Model 98 Low Pressure Kit Repair

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I have a Model 98 Custom with a few mods on it, including a low pressure kit. I've had this thing for over a decade and haven't used it in at least 7 years. Prior to stopping play it worked fine running compressed air from a 45/3000 tank. 
I just got back into the game and want this as my secondary marker, but when I hooked it all up it leaks from the secondary regulator that came with the low pressure kit. Upon taking it apart and replacing o-rings, cleaning it up, etc. it still leaks from same area, and I think I've found the culprit. See the pics, I'm amazed that this would happen really, any thoughts on why this would occur? Where can I find replacement parts, if anywhere?

Pics aren't that great but the metal has split. Clearly not forming a seal inside the reg and thus leaking from the bottom. Help!

	A quick look tells me to go to mccarterbrown to find your item.

	That's a forum, I don't see what you are trying to direct me to. From my research I've found the low pressure kit has been discontinued, can't find it anywhere. I'm hoping buying a replacement in-line vertical regulator of another brand (custom products has one for around $60) will solve my issue. The LPK seems to be able to take any type of vertical reg, I'll be at the local shop tomorrow and report if it solves my issue.

	Right is a forum. Go there to the for sale section and find what you need,

	I got a Custom Products veritical regulator, which solved the leak from the reg. However, it now leaks from the front bolt area, from what I take from this it appears the inner valve to the low pressure kit is the issue. Anyplace with instructions on how to disassemble and restore this valve?
