pnuemag help

[crazyjoe12]

so my pnuemag was working great and it seemed to just stop. when i air it up the lpr leaks and when i adjust it to stop leaking then the gun will not fire. the trigger starts to work when i turn the lpr down or up but the gun still wont fire and the lpr leaks. any help would be apreciated. could it be that i blew something in the lpr when i hooked my adj tank up if the pressure was too high?

make sure you didn't burst a hose

Pneumagger gave me some good advice for my pneumag... hold the trigger when airing up. The LPR may not regulate fast enough when first pressurized and opening the MSV will help with the potential overpressure.

[crazyjoe12]

well ill have to try that but none of the hoses burst.

[crazyjoe12]

still having no luck :(

What kind of LPR is it? If it comes apart clean it. lube it, and inspect the internal o-rings...

I've have similar problems when my msv-2 is tighten with the arm slightly depressed by the trigger rod. It leaks air and doesn't do a damn thing. Fixed by moving the msv-2 further back with a little slack.

its a jackhammer lpr and ok ill try that stuff out see if it helps.


thanks
Joe

ok so it was a disconnected hose hah, but im still having the problem with the lpr leaking in order to get the gun to shoot. so what should i do, could it be a bad o ring or something within the lpr? should i take it apart and look around?

where is the leak coming from?

[crazyjoe12]

out of the adjusting screw.

Sounds like the piston o-ring tome...

[crazyjoe12]

ok so i have it appart and well all the o-rings look fine...? this is the first time ive ever taken a lpr apart, so im not sure why its leaking. im confused help me :confused:

[flyingpootang]

Joe, we can only give you advice on what you tell us. It's difficult to know whats wrong unless we know all the factors. What state are you in? If you can't figure it out maybe you can meet up with someone who can diagnose the problem and fix it for you. If all else fails you can send it to me and I'll do it no charge. I have excellent feedback and am pretty good with pneumags....

[crazyjoe12]

im in michigan. well what im going to do is i tryed taking it apart and looking around found nothing wrong that i could see so im going to hook it back up and see what happens if it still doesnt work im going to take a picture of it apart for you all to see.

[crazyjoe12]

ok well not sure if any one is interested but i swapped out my jackhammer for an old stock sto lpr and i have the gun working great again. still not sure what happened though. im thinking a bad seal in the ans lpr.

Remember, just because o-rings look good, doesn't mean they are. If you want the LPR to stop leaking, I would just change out all of the o-rings no matter what with fresh new o-rings. If the problem persists, you can eliminate the LPR as a cause. Since the system works now with a different LPR, you know there are some bad o-rings in the Jackhammer LPR.

Great to here it's up and running. Using an adjustable reg will give you a lighter trigger. I've used the WGP Tickler with excellent results. They usally sell for 15-20, but here is one at 10.00 on ebay right now.....
