    On/off Leak on Classic Automag?? Help

    <p> I bought a very nice Micromag RT, and the guy also threw in a free classic automag that he said had a leak he couldn't fix. I gassed it up, and sure enough, the classic automag has a huge leak out the trigger frame. When I hold the trigger in, the leak stops.
    <p> Based on what the Automag manual says, this means I should replace the On/off orings. So i did this, but it still leaks just as bad out the trigger frame. I read many posts about leaks on this forum, and I tried many of their suggestions to no avail.
    <p> I checked the on/off pin, and it doesn't seem worn down nor does it move freely (which I hear is a sign that it is worn down).
    <p> It looks like it has some sort of turbo valve in the on/off assembly instead of the stock one, but I read a lot of posts about the turbo valves and it doesn't seem to cause leaks for anybody else.
    <p> I checked all the other O-rings in the gun, replaced any that looked suspicious, but still have the leak. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

      So is it leaking out of the on/off or from inbetween the valve halves?? How many stars are left on the valve, maybe it's time to use one??

        Also try replacing the main valve body o-ring (the biggest one), or the reg. seat.

          Hey, Thanks for the help guys, I'll try it out.
          <p> Yes, I am willing to sell the gun. I don't have much use for it since I already have 2 others. I was only trying to fix it so that I could sell it. I thought about trading it for a Nitro tank, but selling it is fine. Want to make me an offer? It has all new O-rings! lol.
          <p>The valve does not have any stars engraved on it, which I think means it is from a pretty long time ago.
