I went to gas my gun up today, and when i did at first it leaked (gushed) air out of the barrel i think? The trigger was held down, but when he realsed the rtigger it filled. When he gave me my gun, there was still a small leak, but a very small one coming from the bolt. The gun was shooting, but when i tried to shoot a ball it wouldnt come out, and the trigger would periodically depressurize. A few days ago I reaplced some orings through out the gun since I had a leak out of the ASA. So i think i put all the o rings in right but i do think i need a new reg assembly? I was wondering if one had any ideas.

By the way this was on a RT mag with a venturi bolt and running on a maxflow at about 600psi

Tighten the velocity adjuster until it shoots properly.

Do you have Level 10?

Nope, i dont have a Level Ten. So turing up the velocity should take care of the leak, and the trigger not presurrizing?

Your output pressure should be between 750-850 psi. You are running it too low for the trigger to be reactive and re-pressurize.

When you replaced the o-rings, did you also replace the bolt spring? You may also have to put in a shorter power tube spacer.

Yes, I did replace the bolt spring. Im thiknig of buying a Lvl 10, and maybe a new reg assembly. Would this solve my problem? Thanks for all the help guys

Since you've replaced the bolt spring, then the problem has to be the power tupe spacer. Put in a shorter power tube spacer and the leak should go away.

Well i just order my levle ten so would going back to my old bolt spring fix the leak until i got my lvl ten?

The leak is caused by the power tube o-ring/spacer. Putting the old bolt spring on won't help that. Its always best to use the newest parts.

Check the sear as well. A worn sear will cause the bolt ot sit too far forward and leak out the front. This can be compensated for a tiny bit if using a shorter power tube spacer.

Since you are ordering a level 10 bolt, you shouldn't have to worry about the power tube o-ring and spacer, but you should still check the sear assembly.
