alright, got a new parts kit and replaced the major orings on the valve pin, but its still leaking. instead of the over pressurization relief on the reg body, its coming out of the powertube. the one thing that i noticed was that sandwiched between the 2 orings, there was a whitish oring, or spacer. it is split, and looking at the exploded views of ReTro valves, its not there. this is a MicroMag ReTro, if it means anything different. this has me stumpt. anyone have any ideas?

Try pushing and holding back the bolt when you gas up the gun. You have to put as much pressure on the bolt as you can, but that should get it to seal up. If not, replace the PT o-ring or the spacer with one that's one size smaller. If the problem is fixed by holding back on the bolt when you gas it up, then you need a way to gas up the gun quicker so it gets a quick burst of air to seal everything up. Also, oiling the valve helps to seal everything up easier when you gas it up.
