    Ck to see if your top on/off orings are there and if sear has snapped.

        They should be a lasered image on the valve. It goes oring, sizer/carrier thing, then the tip I think. Change carrier sizes, that might help the leak, or a new oring in the power tube.

          If the PT components are all in correctly. Ck for wear on your sear and bolt face where the sear catches.

          If they look fine then you probably need to go down in size on your PT spacer.

            Level 7 powertube setup:

            Oring goes in first, followed by spacer. Then screw in the powertube tip to hold everything in place.

            A leak down the powertube when at rest indicates a powertube spacer that is too long. Make sure you have the rail busing installed. A missing bushing can cause leaking as well.
            Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

              Check to make sure your on/off pin isn't in upside down.

                It may be that your powertube spacer is too short or the spring is worn out. I noticed my classic is RTing VERY well with the powertube oring leak. I'm still working on fixing that, so I'm not sure if I have a mutant super valve or if that "problem" is somehow making it RT.
