    hmmmm

    well if you can get away from co2, do so. your mag will run better and more consistent. you may have frozen your orings.

    was it running fine and then the problem or....never ran right.
    try changing out your spacer to a larger one, .230,.235
    check your on off orings and oil your pin.

    make sure you have a rail bushing, the little metal sleeve that your rail screw goes through. that can cause problems.

    There would be no problems with the on/off valve. It is either.

    Power Tube Oring
    Power Tube Spacer (too long, install a shorter spacer)
    bad/old bolt spring
    Bolt/Sear worn out

    If air is leaking out of the barrel and stops then the trigger is pulled, it means that the bolt is not sealing inside the power tube. The reason it stops when the trigger is pulled is that the on/off valve cuts the flow of air off between the regulator and the air chamber.

    Once again no one mentions the RAIL BUSHING!

    Check to make sure that your rail bushing is still there.

    Its a little metal tube that sits in your rail inside the hole the field strip screw goes through. Trust me, it can cause a LOT of problems.
