RT Classic (small leak)

04-02-2003, 06:27 AM

Ok, I had my RT running like a champ for the past few weeks. Then my Banjo O-Rings went bad..no biggie..they were 2 years old. I replaced those.. Ran like a champ at the field. After the field, i got back here; oiled her up..every single o-ring. I now have a slight leak somewhere in the middle of the valve. Doesn't sounds like it is coming down the barrel from the LVL X. I don't think its the powertube. But its definately in the middle. The velocity hole is not leaking - sounds like inside it. I think it could be the banjo, but don't think this because when i air it up with the trigger back, no leak. I am down to thinking its an issue with LVLX or my Powertube. Any suggestions? Maybe a spacing issue with PowerTube + LVLX. The leak is usually sealed the first shot or two, noticeable after that.

Have replaced all o-rings now too.

It could be one of the larger on/off o-rings that goes on the outside of the on/off assembly.

If it is leaking down the barrel, then it is most likely a carrier leak or you need to remove a shim.

Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
