View Full Version : Speed 05 Leaking, anyone?

ok Just wanted to post my recent experience with my new speed 05-

The first time I gassed up and dry fired, no problems at all.
The second time I brought it to a field, gassed up and loaded up my egg with paint.
Soon a faint leak appeared. It was't too bad, just kinda there. After I switched to the Reloader B, and chopped, of course, the leak became full blown and in moments the contents if my tank had loudly dissapated down the barrel.

I decided it was probably the oring that seals the foregrip to the body, so I didn't tech it then and there.
After some contact back and forth with Frazier at WDP, I took his advice to see if anything was blocking the valve (i.e. paint chips from using the halo).
After reassembling the bobbin, spring, and valve stem, I gassed up and everything worked fine.
Tonite I shot a hopper through it and no leaks.
Just thought I would share my experience if anyone is having leak issues.
later

i found that if the bolt gets stuck forward, its sprays air out - i was testing to see just how soft my that soft touch bolt was... it went forward and stopped, spraying out air

you need to adjust your ram so your bolts sits in the propper place im guessing that is your faint leak the bad leak was more than likly shell making your bolt stick forward when that happens you will get a rush of air out of you barrle till you either get the bolt unstuck or your tank runs dry

is that because when the bolt is forward, it holds the ram against the valve? (im still learning about how angels work, im in the process of "converting" from cockers to angels)

yes, because the Bolt is attached directly to the hammer. so when the bolt gets stuck forward, the hammer is also stuck forward, pressing it against the valve stem. This is why when you chop and your some pieces of shell get stuck between bolt and body and the bolt sticks forward you pour your tank out the barrel.
