    micromag leaking + more

    my micromag is leaking.. its not from the barrel... or the back of the valve... i think its coming from where there is a little gap in the body and valve and i dunno how to fix it.. i first thought it was the hose fitting... but i put teflon tape on it again and it did nothing... then i moved my finger around and found it leaking from the one place... i guess thats where it is coming from.. im not sure(green)................and i was wondering if $400 is a good price for a brand new 72cu(i think it was) flatline system... and i got my friend to buy an e-mag(he used to be one of those trendy ppls.. with the timmys and stuffs)... but PLEASE HELP!! I HAVE TRYOUTS IN 2 WEEKS HELP ME!!!!

    make sure the rear screw that holds your valve in place is nice and tight. There shouldn't be any play at all between the valve and body.

      Have you checked your on/off assembly? You could have a leak there and the air would vent from that general area. Try replacing your O-ring on the bottom of the on/off assembly.

                There are 2 o-rings on the on/off bottom that could cause the leak. First, there is the o-ring on the outside, and second, you have a white teflon o-ring on the inside which the on/off pin goes through. It could be either of these, or your on/off pin could be bad too. I dont know which o-ring you have replaced, here are pictures of the on/off bottom and where you should see o-rings.
