automag leaks

[Oddball91]

ok i got my automag back and took it out to shoot (leaked and was at shop getting fixed). well it still leaks. but when i pull the trigger in it stops. does anyone know what could be the problem?

my friend has 2 automags and they both leak. one has a lvl 7 and the other lvl 10.

the lvl7 leaks out of the . i

Out of the what? And ya, oil througha gas thru should be ok

[Oddball91]

sry bout that....forgot to finish sentence. it leaks out of the front part of the valve

[Oddball91]

does anyone know if the automag rt barrel is twistlock or threaded?

If it's out of the front of the valve, it could be a couple of things. If it leaks as soon as it's gased up (no pressure on trigger), it could be a wrong sized spacer (for lvl 10), or the o-ring behind the spacer needs replaced.

For the level ten, leaks everywhere? Sounds like wrong spacer, too high velocity, maybe dry/dirty internals. Try first lowering the velocity. If that works, change spacers. A couple shoots of oil couldn't hurt anything, but if it is dirt, you'll have to disassemble the valve a bit to clean off the o-rings.

By the way, you're using HPA, right? Because CO2 freezes the internals, and that could be a possibility.

twistlock

thanks and yes we are using HPA

Leaking out the front of a level 7 is either a bad powertube oring or a powertube spacer that is too long. If it worked in the past but has started to leak, it could be due to the sear wearing a bit. By putting a shorter powertube spacer in, you can compensate for that.

You can add a couple of drops of oil in the quick disconnect.

The level 10 leaks everywhere? You'll have to define everywhere.

A leak out the back from the small hole in the adjuster indicates an overpressure. This could be due to a bad regulator seat oring, velocity setting too high, or a weak/bad regulator piston assembly. A leak out the back but not from the small hole usually indicates a bad regulator piston oring.

A leak out the bottom into the trigger frame indicates a bad on-off oring problem.

A leak out the front could be either a carrier that is too loose or too many shims in the powertube.

leaks again...see main description

Did you try to adjust any of the parameters that were previously mentioned? If so, what parameters were adjusted and what were the results?

[Oddball91]

i didnt touch anything yet. It came back from the shop and i put some air in it and i heard a *hiss*. today im goin to try sojme stuff to fix it.

i had the same problem

ok i got my automag back and took it out to shoot (leaked and was at shop getting fixed). well it still leaks. but when i pull the trigger in it stops. does anyone know what could be the problem?

Just last night i had the same problem, when you take the valve out, pull the bolt off, and there is that gold colored piece, unscrew that and there should be a little o-ring that goes down inside there, and the only reason that i am suggesting this is because last night when i was at the field my marker was leaking and it would only stop when i would hold down the trigger. . . . . . when i took the bolt out the o-ring had come out and was on the rail on the inside of the bolt.

-GOOD LUCK!-
