Well, I recently sold an E-mag on here to Tunaman but now it's leaking HEAVILY out of the barrel when I aired it up today before sending it out. Took it to proshop and had them take a look and replace all the o-rings, but its still leaking like crazy. When I recieved the gun originally, I had quite a bit of paint put through it and it had been fine earlier this week when a friend was using it. Do you guys have ANY idea why its doing this? By the way, I'm running a 68/3000 Maxflow at around 500psi output (I think) through a macroline into the E-mag. The E-mag is completely stock.

That would be my first guess also, raise your input to at least 650.

Then report back if it still isn't working.

rt valves don't like to seal with under 600 psi inputs

ya I think the least recommended pressure to run the Emag at is 600

You need to gas it up quickly. The valve needs a rapid burst of air to seat the o-rings.

You input should be higher the RT valve requires a high input to achieve its phenomenal recharge rate.

Other than that I need more info.

In manual mode when you hold down the trigger does it still leak?

If it DOSENT you need to replace your powertube o-ring. Remove the brass tip under the bolt with a nickel turn the valve upside down and tap until the brass powertube spacer comes out. The o-ring you need to replace will now be exposed. Pull the o-ring out with a pick or somthing if it dosent just fall out.

Replace with appropriate o-ring and assemble in reverse order.

If it still leaks when holding down the trigger in manual mode it could be a variety of o-rings in the on/off or the reg pin assembly. Keep posting I will step you through.

turn up input pressure... my emag does this when i put a tank on it with under 600 psi
:D

Thanks guys! Realised that I needed to do that soon after I posted so I replaced my Maxflow low pressure spring with a high pressure spring, got a fill, cranked it up to 700 psi output and it had a small leak out the back. Replaced the piston o-ring now it works like a wet dream once again! Packing it now to send off to Tunaman!
