Retro exauses gas after fired

[hostage]

Well I never reconized this b4, but everytime I fire a bit of air almost unoticable fumes out the rear and the side hole. Is this normal?

Side hole?

There shouldn't be any air escaping except out the front when the gun is fired. Try cleaning the valve and oiling the o-rings.

You mean from the velocity nut? Check the piston o-ring. What do you mean teh side hole?

there is a hole on the side of the front half of the valve. it's directly opposite the air inlet of the valve, and you can see it in this picture. There's also one on the top of the regulator half above the word ReTro.

sch...that is the whole. It is a small amount, i wouldn't of reconized it until I put my finger over one of the wholes and on the rear, and it made a little farting noise and put some pressure on my fingers. BTW I do oil regular, when I play, like you think i should actually disamble it and clean it out and reoil the orings?

It probably wouldn't hurt to disassemble to clean amd oil everything. Maybe a piece of dirt got into one of the o-rings.

well, try this, if it hasn't already fixed itself.

unscrew the reg. nut completely.
remove both the inner/outer reg springs.
separate the two halves of the valve.
using a toothpick, press it into the valve opposite the reg. nut, and push the regulator piston assembly completely out.
look at the o-ring on the piston, clean it and oil it if necessary.

that looks to be the o-ring that would allow pressure to escape other than the blowoff valve.
