i have a problem

[RiceSolja]

i just got my G-7 tuesday.. and i aired it up last night.. and there was a leak in the foregrip. it was leaking from the small hole right above the velocity adjuster. i cant figure out whats wrong. i tried opening it and changing the orings on the outside of the minireg spool. i took the whole mini reg apart check the pistons and seals. still no luck.. can some1 please help. thank you in advance.

did you try dry firing the marker a few times?

Also - drop a few drops of the Love Juice that came with it in the macro line and dry fire a bunch of times. This happened to a friend's G7 and that is all he had to do to fix it.

Hope it helps!

I had the same problem and did the same thing as you..... I ended up sending it in to FMA. Never really got an answer as to why, something to do with a small o-ring and high preasure tank? Sorry I couldn't have been more help. Bob did an awesome job though :patriot:

Maybe the reg itself is not pushed in far enough. Try giving it just a push and see what happens.

i put at least a 1000 shot through with oil in macro... still leaking.. im sad. i guess ill send it to Bob on monday. i guess i just got bad luck this time around.

anyone know how long this might take.. cuz i know bob has been really busy.. just want a little more insight about how long it might take.

thanks

Bob is gone for the weekend in San Diego. You might want to try and contact him on Monday/Tuesday or even drop him a PM incase he decides to check in.

You need to replace the Oring on the piston in the mini-reg. Remove the mini-reg assembly from the fore grip, then remove the cir-clip above the piston, then remove the piston (this can sometimes take a little tap on a table or a small allen key pushing on the ball at the adjustment hole end.) Then you need to replace the Oring on the large disc looking end of the piston. Now replace all the parts, but with a little angel grease. The little hole works both as a tell tale hole plus to vent any gas leaking past that Oring because if it did not vent then it would equalise against the pressure on the other side of the piston and you would get full bottle pressure going into the marker. This hole stops air pressure around the spring pack effecting the pressure it requires to compress them.
