I just picked up a nice new looking sydarm and it's not working very well. When I gas it up it does anything from double fire like an RT trigger, to just not doing anything at all while it leaks down the barrel. All signs point to an on/off issue, but I've noticed that with every 12 gram I've used so far it's only opened up a crack, very much unlike with my PGP.

Any ideas?

When I got my Sydarm it also did all kinds of weird stuff. Mine still had the copper colored spring in the power tube like older automags used to have. I took that out and put in 1 of the brass spacers from my other mag. Everthing works great now. Check your power tube and see if you have the spring. :)

Nope, it has the .235 spacer.

Have you tried out different size spacers?

I tried a .215 and that didn't change anything.

If you push on the bolt with a squigee dose the leak go away? If it dose then check the power tube oring and try a larger spacer. Also check if your bolt is a stock AGD bolt. The aftermarkets venturi tend to leak...
