View Full Version : leak in my mag
i have a leak in my mag valve. i cant pinpoint it. there is a very faint and contand leak comingg from about the area where you srew the 2 halfs of the valve together. i checked the oring. i cleanded my on/off and nothing. i turned velocity down and nithing. what could it be. i am sure the air is not leaking from the place where velocity is adjusted. could it be a bad seal at the part with the smal pin valve thingy.
Added, reg seat is realy loose no mater which way it is put in
I would say get a new reg seat even if that isn't the problem. Maybie the leak is from the connection between the hose and the valve?
no not from hose to valve because i feel air coming from up from under the main rail so it must be on off or the reg
Thats the on-off check your o-rings replace them if you have spares. Inspect them carfully small nicks can cause leaks.
but it seems to be coming from the area where the reg screws into the rest of the valve. could my reg be over oiled and leaking outta the 2 holes on the bottem next to the slide lock thing
Those 2 holes shouldn't leak unless you put some massive amount of pressure into your valve where it starts venting to avoid blowing up.
the leak is from where the reg screw in i gassed it up and it frosted all around the place where the screw together
what could it be?
Mags like N2, you can pick up a tank fairly cheap.
Have you checked that big o-ring? Try the reg seat too.
there was alot of oil behind the bog o-ring and it fire fine no leak, but i will keep my eye on it, my n2 is getting fixed(got it from crossfire and it leaked when i got it)

Over oiling can cause leaks. An excessive amount of oil on an o-ring prevents it from sealing. This holds true for all o-rings.
the leak is back, i will just buy a new reg seat, reg o-ring and maby some on off valve orings to be safe
