    micro emag.. last resort

    Hey all.. i'm usually one not to ask questions and to find things out on my own but i need some serious help. I recently purchased a used micro emag from a guy and it worked for a while but had a little air leak. So as the type of guy i am i decided to fix it well that's where everythign went wrong.
    Currently i have a large air leak coming from the power tube and from the rear of the vel. adjuster. I bought a rt parts kit and changed the reg seat oring and a couple others that i thought could have been bad. but now it leaks even if i put the old ones back in. I have oiled and greased everything up so it's not the lack of lube. I need some help.. Who should i call or email? the emag video doesn't help since they just go over the basics on the valve. I'd like some one else to look at it to see if i missed something..

    btw.. i'm very mechanically inclined so i'm not just some goof tinkering with stuff.

    Thanks,
    Robert

    oh and yes i do use HPA so no dumb co2 questions.

    The leak out of the back is most likely you having your velocity too high... Its a pressure release valve... It is designed to do that. For the other leak, there are a few things that could cause that leak.

    First, Make sure you gas the gun up quickly with more than 650 psi. If you dont, the gun wont seal properly. You could also hold the trigger down (while in manual mode) as you gas it up.

    Second, Make sure the powertube oring is good. If it is, you might need a shorter powertube spacer. Get a spacer kit (in the online store about $10-$15).

    Third, Does the gun leak when you hold the trigger down in manual mode? If so, you'll need to replace the black quad o-ring in the on/off assembly...


    Hope this helped!
