    Not a simple Lawn Sprinker issue!

    OK - I know that typically the lawn sprinkler problem is related to an on/off oring - but this is NOT the case in this instance. This evening my brother-in-law and I sat down to install his ULT kit. Upon airing it up I noticed a lawn sprinker leak when the trigger is help back. I thought it was the ULT on/off - so switched back to the regular RT on/off. (He has an Xvalve) Same issue. Tried my ULT on/off - same issue. Put my valve in the gun - NO PROBLEM. OK - so we put his vlave back together with the original on/off (for the second time) and still got the lawn sprinker going on.

    Tried:

    - loosing the field strip screw

    - Tightening the FS screw

    - Checked for the FS screw spacer that connects the rail to the frame - present

    - Took all shims out of LX (it had the standard 2)

    - Put up to 6 shims in LX (one at a time)

    - Made sure the front frame screw was tight - it was

    EVERYTHING we tried had no impact on the lawn sprinkler thing. We tried the LX shim stuff with both the RT on/off and the ULT.

    Anyone have any suggestions - I can almost bet that this issue is unrelated to the on/off - but it sure is something that isn't respnding to anything else.

              have you tried actually replacing the o-rings? just to see if it will do the same thing with new o-rings

                  What kind of frame is on the gun that is having the problem with the valve? Is the trigger rod length the correct length? Sounds like it might not be pushing the pin up enough, so it's barely catching the o-ring.

                      what is the age/ use record of this valve?... new oring and valve parts take time to seat and grow "accustomed" to one another...... my experience has been to play 2 days on any minor problem that i have that does not affect my play.... this way i dont go chasing phantom problems, and i avoid digging myself a deeper grave...

                      good luck
