Sill I have to replace the reg. seat if I just clean the on/off o-ring? *Please say no, please say no*

Just don't unscrew the front reg. body. You can get at the on/off o-ring without taking off the front reg. body.

By just taking off the front part where you can change the output pressure with allen wrenches?

ok, i have a 68/3K flatline. The problem is when the tank is full i'll set the output pressure at lets say 900, but when the tank press drops the output does also graduly with the tank pressure. I put a new reg seat in, which it already had a new one but it didn't change anything. Should i replace the piston oring? Thanks for any help.

Can anyone help? I'm about to just screw it and get a preset but i'll lose money and i like the higher output on my retro. Do ya'lls stay at the same pressure the whole time? well untill it gets below the output setting. Mine just slowing downs down and the trigger goes with it.

Try replacing the piston o-ring. Also, if you have other micro gauges, try them. Your gauges might be displaying the wrong pressure.

just checking, if my 4500 flatline lost all of it air in a week while in the off position, i have to send it in to get the on/off fixed, or is it something i can do my self

Misfit first check the high pressure gauge, if it leaks from the threads, check also the fill port. If both are ok then you have to worry about the on/off.
Some times the leak is from the bottle, i mean the neck where the regulator seat on the bottle, because of a bad reg. threads oring. That is rare.

yea, ill have to get it filled and check it for leaks

ok new problem
I can't get mine 4500 to stay below 800 output. If I try to adjust it lower it will vent out the adjustment screw. Any ideas?
and where can I get the lower pressure spring? I looked in the store, but they don't give any options for high or low output springs.

perhaps i've been huffing paint, but i think i recall that the spring pack from a <a target="_blank" href="http://store.airgun.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=17&Product_ID=50&CATID=6">classi c valve</a> can be used to rig a flatline to run lower pressure.

ok so now why does it not adjust below 800PSI with the high pressure spring. It used to, but after a few replaced o-rings at skyball, it won't adjust any lower.

Hey guys..

I got a quick question or two. With a possible X-Valve on the way, I want my Flatline 3000 psi to be up to par. I have noticed that when I shot from the input of about 800psi, It will drop to 600ish and slowly come back to 800. If I shoot a fast string it stays pretty strong @ 600psi, but I don't think it is getting the full 800psi I have it set at. From what I have read in this post it sounds like it is either a dirt or reg seat problem. Any suggestions on this??

I guess it is about time to buy a flatline parts kit, so AGD store, here I come..

Also, I read a post where someone said that you can take the tank apart while it is gassed, I thought this was a big no no. I'll wait till someone responds before I do this :]
After looking back at the poster, he was using a 4.5k flatline. I guess the 4.5k can be gassed and dissasembled while the 3k can't? Anyone wanna confirm?

Try replacing the o-ring inbetween the two halves again and make sure that they are fully tightened before you put it back together. Be sure that they don't come loose when you put the clamp back on the reg. Sometimes when you put the clamp on and you're positioning the FL, the reg can turn loose with the clamp if it gets rotated at all.
