Problem with mag, First time using

Re: similar problem with mag reliability

I purchaced a mag about six months ago, also used and it has had the same problem (or very similar to). I Oil the living heck out of the thing, so I dont think think thats the problem. The On-Off is installed correctly and I recently replaced the reg seat in a desperate attempt to fix the problem. Nothing has worked. The Problem is something like this. I have a mag classic (one star), Smart parts barrell, macroline, expansion chamber and a double trigger and CO2. When I gas the gun up, It works fine for about two to three shots And then the shot consistancy goes to hell, shortly followed by the gun ceasing to work all together.........................

that co2 for ya........sounds like liquid is getting in the reg section of the gun. if that happends, then the reg will start to vent because the co2 will expand to well over the 350-500 PSI the reg is designed to operate at. it doesn't take much liquid and it will do this.

try this:
de-gas and remove the tank. unscrew the velocity adjuster all the way and remove it. pull out the spring and the nut looking thing that is inside the reg body. replace the o-ring on the nut looking thing, clean the space it came out of very well w/ rubbing alcohol and dry it completly. coat the nut thingy with heavy duty grease (not oil)and replace everything as it was when you took it out.

also, twist the back of the valve off the rest of it. clean in there, remove the piston and spring that is inside it and clean them as well. i use regular rubbing alcohol like you can buy at any store for like 50 cents or so.
pull out the on/poff bdy and top and o-rings. clean in there.

just before you re-assemble, rub a clean finger across the regulater seat this is the o-ring that is in the middle of the reg, if there is even a little bit of stuff on that, it can cause the leak you are describing.

replace everything, drop about 2-3 drops of oil into where your fitting connects to the side of the valve. shoot air through the gun and see what happens. seems like a lengthy process, but it'll clean it up and remove any small bits of grit and give you some working knowledge of your valve.

hope this helps.

ok

Ok i just got my n2 tank today and i screwed it in my gun and its leaking ALOT back of the bolt or valve thing. HELP!

[xen_100]

a little more description than "valve thingy" might help.

does the leak stop if you pull and hold the trigger?

[i2ush]

HEy

I dont think my gun has a regulator seat in it bah!

[i2ush]

And

When i screw my tank in it leakes alot out of the regulator nut whole. and keeps leaking when i pull the trigger. Does this sound like a regulator seat problem?

[xen_100]

lol......that will cause a leak for sure.......lol

replace the seat and try again........

[i2ush]

yea

Well im going to play at my feild saturday and see if they have a regulator seat (crosses fingers). If not i guess i have to order it . I want to shoot it so bad!

[i2ush]

also

Also THNX ALOT for all your help.

[xen_100]

if they dont have a seat, get the whole repair kit. you will shoot yourself if the seat in not the problem and you have to order something else to fix it.

[WickeDKlowN]

I think i have an extra parts kit i could sell you next week if Full Throttle dosnt have any

Edit: well, i have most of one, there should be a reg seat in it, along with a whole bunch of other o-rings. I also have a PT Spacer kit i dont need(got LX) and some other misc parts. And i know AGD used to send you a video and stuff if you called them and asked, i guess they still do.

[Lee]

pm me your address and i'll send you a reg seat for free.

[i2ush]

ok

I replaced everything and now i have a new leak. I can't tell where it's leaking from but when i pull the trigger and hold it, it stops leaking. then when i let go it starts again. What's causing this leak? im guessing something with the powertube?

Re: ok

Bingo.

Check your spacer and make sure you have the correct one in there. (Unless you are running Level 10, in which case- make sure you have the right carrier)
