alright heres the deal. please bare with me for that i dont know every part by there exact name, but i will try. ok, well there is air leaking from the breech of my 99 LED. i dont have any clue what could be the problem. i would open it up, but it would be like a metal worker trying to do open heart surgery. my guess is that its the orings somewhere or needs some lube or something simple like that. also, there isnt any air pressure for my bolt to shoot. well i can shoot, but its the same amount of pressure and the last few shots in your tank when its empty. and it sounds like that too. if anyone can help me that would be great. im probably taking it to a pro shop this weekend, but i was wondering if there were anything I can do to see whats wrong with it. any help with be greatly appreciated.

Does it leak constantly? Try putting a few drops of oil in the ASA and firing 20-30 times and see if it fixes the problem, it could be the exhuast vavle. Another thing to check (I know they are on the LCD, not sure on LED) is when you open the breech, there is a little hole there with a o-ring. Make sure that this isnt missing or damaged.

A tuneup is always recommended, especially if you are not comfortable taking it apart and adjusting things yourself, and more so if you do not have a angel tool kit.

sounds like an exhasut valve leak, and a little oil typically clears that up.

since this is an LED the pfft pfft you seem to be describing would likely be a snap ring problem.

Since you're in Mass I'm going to suggest using Ken Crane at PerformanceAngel.com to have this marker tuned up and shooting straight as an arrow again.
