    Emag LX Problem- MASSIVE leak

    I've had my Emag LX since just prior to IAO. I gasses it up today(Flatline 4500) and there was a massive leak out the back hole. I have no idea what has caused it and it's been functioning fine for over 10 cases.

    Did you take out the bolt to see if the piston pin is still in place? That's a two piece system, and it's been known for that piece to come out and fall into the dump chamber. That coming out would cause a massive leak. If that's the case, put a bit of red loctite on the end and then tap it in with a smooth face hammer. To make sure it's in all the way, measure from the tip of the bolt to the tip of the pin and it should be 2.010"

      I think AGD should be adding a new, higher rated regulator piston in the LX kits. I am seeing too much of this venting out the back hole

        i had this happen about a week ago.... my LvX was installed sence the 1st batch of betas and working fine... i didnt play for a couple of weeks went to fire off some old paint in my back yard and soon as i turned the air on air came blasting out the back.... i shut the air off then back on once the air stoped coming out the back.... still leaked.... once it stoped again i put about 4 drops of oil in my q/d fitting gassed up again and fire off a bunch of shots and it has been fine ever sence.......

        the one thing i am noticing is that with the LvX, one must keep the valve well oiled... meaning a drop or 2 before play and esp if not gassed up for a while... to kepp it running good.....other wise there is a leak somewhere..... sence then i have had no problems....
