    on/off valve leaking

    I have a large leak coming from my on/off valve in my classic valve automag. The o-rings inside have no visable damage. Any suggestions?

    Try lots of lubricant and cycle the gun. Then press and hold the trigger. Listen for a leak. A leak in the on/off with the trigger held will ound like a lawn sprinkler (psst psst psst). If the bottom o-ring on the outside of the on/off assembly is bad it will cause lots of leaking out the bottom of the valve. It rarely happens though, because it is tight and doesn't move.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
