A4 Leaking small amount of air

[A4Greg]

Guys...I just took my gun out for the first time the other day and it was ripping great. My settings were as follows:

A4 stock settings with empire b reloader on fastest speed.
reg on angel set at about 270 with medium volumizer on.

Nitro Duck xtreme tank set on about 800 for the first time firing.

Everything was working great for the first 2 hoppers. I then adjusted the tank output to be around 400 rather than 800 and adjusted my angel reg to about 270 again. Now there seems to be a small amount of air coming out of the ram compartment i am guessing? I tried to pull the ram forward to expose the small o-ring that is on the ram to lube it with just 1 drop of love juice thinking that might be the problem. I would like to fix this problem w/o having to disassemble my brand new toy.

Lmk if you guys have had similar problems.


Thx greg

First of all, LOWER YOUR REG PRESSURE. Thats kinda high man. Go down to 190-200.

I had the leak also. It was the cup seal. Then, after i put the ram back in, i busted a O-ring. So, i had 2 leaks, 1 after the other, but totally irrelated.

Be careful. The cup seal is on the Valve stem.

Take out the Left End Cap (when looking at the front of the gun straight on)
Take out the support bobbin, support bobbin spring, and the Valve Stem. Check the Valve stem Seal for damage, and replace.

If theres still a leak, its definitely a 0-ring on the Ram/Valve. Check those for damage if there is still a leak.

yah the only reason i had my pressure up that high was that I "think" i read somewhere that it needed to be up there to set the orings for the first time airing up and breaking the gun in.

lmk if anyone has any other ideas.

i checked the cup seal and replaced it and it is still leaking a small amount of air.

How would i go about checking my ram rings?
