Internal leak?

[tankj2206]

ok..i had left over air from the field. my gun sat over night and it had lost about 200 ps?! i listened really close and discovered it was coming from the breach ares...would it be the exuahst valve or what? how do i fix it?:notsure:

i run my gun at round 350-400 psi from my AIR..

any help would be apreciated,

I had this same problem after the first time I filled up my AIR system, air leaking through the breach.

In the exhaust valve area, there is a metal thingy that's hard to get out (technical I know ;) I usually take the ram and other exhaust valve stuff out then gently push through from the back of the gun with the handle of a highly technical wooden spoon.

I changed the larger of the two O rings and it sorted the leak out straight away.

You don't necessarily need a rebuild kit, you need an O-ring designed for air systems that's the same size and thickness.

Good point. None of the O-rings I had were 'quite' the right size, so I ordered a seal replacement kit from wdp. Good selection in there, but I'm not sure what the tractor tyre inne tubes were for :)

The big huge o-rings they sent you were for your gated feed neck.

I wouldn't let the gun sit over night with air running through it. It is not a good idea to leave the gun pressurized. IMO it will dry out the seals.

k i got the same problem what o-ring should i replace? metal thing wasnt that specific.. lol
Thx

[tankj2206]

yeah..im not to sure awhat you meant...which o-rings should i replace? would it be best to just buy a valve rebuild kit. or buy a specific oring?

\thanks,

Is it a complete o-ring pack cuz if that's the case, just tear down the speed and replace all the o-rings on the internals. Its just better that way. I'm not sure but I believe you're supposed to coat the o-rings with a little love juice. Oh and use a proper o-ring pick when you're removing them so you don't scratch any parts.

could you show me a link? ive seen some kits but im not to sure what i need...would it be a good idea to send it to TAG to have a tune up?

thanks alot,
