    Retro valve leaking

    I have a little problem. I just switched from a stock body to a ULE body on my Retro valve. Now when I air up it sounds like the elbow screwed in to the valve where the macro hooks up to is leaking. I can also hear it if I put my ear against the feed tube. When I press against the back of the valve the leaking stops for a little but then returns. I added shims, changed a couple of O-rings, changed the elbow, but still the same thing. Can anyone help me out. Thanks.

    Put the "stock" body back on the gun. If the leak stops then its going to be a matter of re-tunning you level 10 (to the new body). Try putting in a stiffer spring. If the leak stops when pressure is placed on the valve (rear pushing in) then it sounds like there is a difference in the way your valve sits in the new body.

      stiffer spring

      I tried the stiffer spring and as I was saying my valve leaks. I dont know what the hell it is but I am not very happy with it. Maybe I will trade it for a tippmann or something.
