    RT on/off problem

    Correct me if I am wrong, but to install an RT on/off in a classic, you pull out the old on/off, both top and bottom pieces, then put the RT in, right? I tried this, and the RT is sticking out a little, not allowing the reg to slide into the body. Any suggestions?

    Did you leave an o-ring in there?

    Remove the outer o-ring on the RT On/Off(its the outer one on top of the on/off assembly)to use it in a Classic Valve. That outer o-ring is for XValves and RT E-mag valves.

    We're talking about a classic automag valve, not a classic RT valve, correct?

    Yeah. He wants to use a RT On/Off in a Classic Automag Valve.

    The classic automag valve uses both top on/off o-rings, regardless of classic or RT on/off. Yes?

    More problems.
    I have two mags, one a classics 68, the other a magic box 68. When I pulled the on/off out of the magic box, I can see a white oring in the hole. The classic (the one I am keeping, and shoots fine) has a dark oring with a groove in it. I don't even know if it is an oring, but I don't know how to remove it. I cannot use the small oring on top of the rt on/off with this oring type item still down in the hole. Anyway, with the regular on/off, the marker cycles. With the rt, it does not. Any recommendations for what I should do? Any tips on how to remove the dark oring type thing or should I?

    On the classic valve, there needs to be one 3/8" diameter oring down in the on/off hole first. Then make sure the smaller white oring goes on the on/off assy/pin before inserting it in the hole. You will feel the small oring pop inside the larger one when installing the on/off. RT on/off is the same with a few exceptions. Dont concern yourself with thise right now. Make sure the on/off pin is around .750.

    Correct. No need to remove any orings.

    Any idea why it is not cycling while the rt is in?

    Either the On/off is not letting the sear travel far enough, or it won't let any gas to the powertube.

    Or, your velocity is way too low.
