? on mag leak

[autopimp187]

my mag is leaking down the body. when i firs put the valve on it is fine, when i pull the trigger, it starts leaking. the powerfeed body is new, and didnt used to do this. need help. thanx

[autopimp187]

one more question. this involves a totaly different mag. i just got the level 10 bolt installed. when you tap the trigger (not pull it all the way back) are you supposed to hear a minor leak sound??

It sounds like you could be leaking from the On/Off valve. Look to see that all the O-rings are seated properly. If you have the instructional video watch it, it has trouble shooting tips for these kinds of problems.

i got the level 10 problem fixed, it works great. but i still would love some help for the first question. thanx

Are you saying that the leak is down the barrel or down into the body rail?

A leak down the barrel indicates a problem with the power tube o-ring. A leak down into the rail indicates an on/off problem.

Does this marker have the level 10 bolt?

[autopimp187]

it leaks down the barrel, when i push on the valve it stops leaking, when i let go and take a couple shots it leaks again. then i can push on the valve and it stops again.
no level 10

Definately a power tube o-ring problem. You need to replace the power tube spacer with a shorter one..

i tried replacing the power tube spacer, didnt work. also when i pull the trigger, it has this back fire. pleas help!!!

What size spacer were you using? What size spacer did you put in? Did you try the smallest spacer in the kit?

Have a look at your sear (especially the tip that holds the bolt). If it shows signs of wear, replace it.

i am using the smallest spacer in the kit, it is 215 i believe. the sear is fine. i got the back shooting to stop. but i have a tiny leak down the barrel that wont go away. 2/20 today, i am going to my local paintball store to see if there is a smaller spacer. could the leak be caused by anything else?

[athomas]

ARe you using any aftermarket parts such as a double trigger frame or aftermarket bolt? These items are known to cause those problems.

Try replacing the power tube o-ring with another new one. You may have a bad one even though it is new. Use plenty of lub when you first put it in.

i got the leak stopped, it wasnt coming down the barrel after i put the 215 spacer in, i needed to replace oring in valve, and oil it. thanx for all the help
