    Valve Leak

    Quick question....

    My e-mag valve has started leaking through the velocity adjustment hole. What can cause this?

    Velocity too high.

    If that's not it, then take the reg piston out, clean the inside of the reg back (although you should leave the grease on the springs.) If that doesn't work, change the oring on the piston.

    If that doesn't work, replace the piston. The do go bad every so often.

      A couple of things can cause this.

      First check the velocity. If the velocity is high when this happens and can't be adjusted down, then it is possible that the regulator seat oring is bad.

      Then clean out the back of the valve and check the condition of the regulator piston assembly oring. Replace if necessary.

      If those two don't work, then you may need to replace your worn out regulator piston assembly.
      Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

        Thanks!

        According to the display, this marker has only fired about 4500 shots.

          Don't believe the shot count. Mine as well as many others, used to reset itself all the time.
