Can Loctite Fix This One?

[minimag03]

The powertube came unscrewed and is now leaking like crazy. The small red o-rings isn't sealing. Can Loctite fix it and if so red or blue?

I dont know about loctite but how about some silicone?Or is locktite silicone?If so it should work it should seal it and keep it together....but dont let my advice be your final word...or something liek that..im unsure.

i think it needs to be welded. Get a second opinion before you trust my judgement.

Its broke.. and must be sent to AGD for the "correct fix"
Mine did the same thing and broke the power tube tip.

If it needed to be welded then they would have never gone through the trouble of threading it. I just want to make sure it's ok before I slap some red Loctite on it.

How much did it cost for you to do this? For some reason I can't see this as being broken, it just needs something to seal it up and keep it in place.

OO if its threaded i would throw some locktite on it...doesi t vibrate loose or something?

what about a new o-ring?Or did you try that?

That happened on my Classic RT, but I needed cash and sold it before I got a chance to fix it(the guy knew it leaked and needed work, I'm not a dick like that).

I have no idea. I just got this POS in a trade and it was loose and leaking. The sear was even broken.

Send it to AGD to be fixed. A new powertube will be silver soldered on. As it's a 'classic' RT, it's out of warranty so a rebuild fee will apply.

I ended up buying a "parts gun" that came with a new X valve..

but that leaves me with the same problem you have with my newly built "Back up gun"

I was told that AGD uses a special "compound" and Oring to seal the valves.
If i were to "loc tight" it on my own, it would come apart agine because of the force from the bolt hitting it.
with the tolerances being so tight, it is likely to break power tube tips, bolts, and sears if it backs out even the slightest bit.

I hope the guy I got this from is willing to pay for this. Does anyone know how much it cost?

standard rebuild fee is $65

I guess I'm calling AGD tomarrow to see what can be done.

That happened to one of my old classic valves. I tried red loctite, but it still would vibrate loose. I had to send it back to agd and they put a tac weld on it. Save yourself some trouble and send it to them. Since this is not a normal wear-and-tear issue, id bet agd would do it for just the shipping.
