xvalve leaking from weird spot

[fhawkeye]

From the gap where the silver front section meets the black section - yeah.

diagnosed by spraying it with soap water and could see because it's on a cnc xmag body that exposes that part.

isn't that part loctited on?

i think so. there is a thin red o-ring on the inside that seals the power tube to the valve.

99% chance it is NOT leaking from there. Check it carefully again.

Is there a trick to replacing that so I don't damage anything or would I need to send it in to AGD.

Hey Tuna,

The bubbles seems to be forming right on that seem, but is there anything else you would try first?

Isnt the powertube covered by the body? I wouldnt know how you can see that seam with it in the body and gassed up...

cnc xmag body exposes it - It's a slow "creaking leak" and all day while playing I was thinking it was something else like an air fitting or on/ff valve but replaced it all then finally squirted the area with soap water.

He means where the powertube screws into the reg body (between the steel and aluminum)

Here in case I am terrible at explaining. It was on this type of body this is why I could see the leak springing from the part that is usually covered on 95% of other markers.

There is a torque spec on that powertube so i would suggest sending to AGD. Sometimes they are a real biotch to get off. You have to heat it.

[fhawkeye]

Yeeeaaahh I won't be messing with it. Off to AGD you go, little valve.

As always, thank you all for your assistance.

Installing the Powertube is easy...gettting it off without wrecking it is the not so easy part...
