Classic valve problems

[woahsnap!!!]

Hey im having some problems with my classic valve on my automag 68....

1. I screwed in my co2 and started shooting....everytime i shoot the gun it the trigger either wont reset back or it will stick and gas willstart leaking out of the barrel....i hit the valve in my obvious fustration and it seemed to reset the marker...but after a few shots it started again...WTF IS WRONG WITH MY GUN!!!!

level 7 bolt?
if so sounds like you have a case of bolt stick.
the cure is a larger power tube spacer.
...or
upgrade to a level 10 kit.
the power tube spacer kit is cheap and a must for a level7 mag. as parts break in/wear tolerances shift a little and power tube spacers need to be changed. sticky bolt usually means too short a spacer.

if you have a level 10 already, go up a carrier or lube up your marker real well.

that always happens when I am low on co2. Get your tank refilled and the problem should go away.

ok fine

uh my tank was full when it was doing it

try just oiling your gun, and try it if that dosn't work do what dave_p suggested.

Sounds like your valve is freezing. Does this happen when you are shooting at a high rate of fire? Do you have an expastion chamber and or anti-siphon tube? Can you stop the leak by holding the trigger down?

Think about changing the reg seat. (It's the big thick oring inbetween the valve halves.

yea

i dont have an expansion chamber and i dont have an anitsiphon but when i hold down the trigger it stops sticking.....i had a friend oil it up and im gonna go and shoot it tomorrow....
