    minor leaks...help!

    Hey guys,

    When my MicroRT is gassed up and I pull on the trigger very slightly (ie, not enough to fire the gun), air leaks down the barrel of the gun. However, after I fire the gun rapidly, the problem goes away...that is, until I don't fire the gun for a couple of minutes, and then it leaks again at the slight pull of the trigger. I figure I may need to replace my on/off o-ring (although it looks fine), but I figure whoever responds to this will know more about it than me. The gun also has a slight leak out the back (the allen wrench hole for velocity adjustment).

    My gun specs are below. I'm also using a blue powertube spacer and about 980-1000psi of input pressure. Gracias.

    I have the same problem with my retro valve. I think you just need to change the PT spacer. I haven't fixed mine yet because I'm waiting for lvl 10. The right size PT spacer should fix everything.

      I thought too big a spacer would just make the gun leak down the barrel, not w/ a slight trigger pull...

        Try a factory spacer kit. Those cheap knock offs aren't even close to being worthwhile. I made the mistake of buying one only to find they were all the same size and made of cheap aluminum. I would also replace all your o-rings. Clean and lube the valve and use nothing but AGD parts.

          the leak out tha back may be caused by high velocity, the pressure is relieved when you shoot too hot.
