Front regulator leaking?

[TRYMY4.0]

I got this gun about a month ago and haven't really used it yet. I hooked up my air a few times and no biggy, just trying to figure out the psi output. Well, i was fooling with it one day showing it to my friends and the front reg (foregrip) started leaking. There are 2 little holes in the front, one has a little screw, the other does not. Is it supposed to have a screw in there or did an o-ring inside the reg go out?

it is a 2k2 Angel LCD FLY. Thanks playas! :)

if you have circlip pliers just use them to get out the reg.
But i suggest get a tool kit- youll be gratefull later on

You don't need to get that small allen screw out. Turn it upside down and bang in on the ground on a few layers of a paper towel or something (just to cushion it a little). You should have 5 total parts come out.

1st: C-clip
2nd: the Brass large piston
3rd: Spring Stack. (usually comes out with the large piston) You should have seven shims lined up in this fashion. ))(()))
4th: the Brass small piston (this is where you'll have to bang the reg a little harder for it to come out).
5th: ball bearing (should roll right out).

Here's a diagram (http://www.pbnation.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=28665&d=1020833046)... hopefully this will help you out.


Also, are you sure the leak isn't coming from the exhaust port above your reg?

I had a leak coming from there... it's pretty common. If it is from here, let me know and I'll tell you what needs to be done.

G'luck!

thanks a lot man! i tapped on it but i didn't want to screw up the finish. but, in the front of the reg w/ the little allen screw, there is another hole right above it. thats where the air is comming out.

I had this happen once and a little oil in the ASA with some dry firing solved the problem. If that doesn't work, then yeah, try replacing and greasing the o-rings.

Yeah, that hole should be there... nothing should be blocking it. Honestly, I don't think you need to replace the seals (being an 2k2). What you need to do is clean all the dirt and grease off of each part (make sure to get the small debris that may be in/around the seals) and get yourself some non-petroleum based grease (such as dow 33 or dow 55). I use some white grease my dad has laying around. It's a non-petroleum based grease that's nice and thick. Also won't freeze up. These are some the characteristics you want "paintball" grease. In any case, grease up the seals sparingly. Don't cake it on there but make sure there's enough to complete the seal. Basically put grease on everything that's rubber (if a little grease gets on some of the metal parts... no big deal).

G'luck!!!

you guys rock. i tapped it and it finally came out. That o-ring inside blew, I work at a repair shop on cars so we carry a bunch of o-rings :) meaning...i didn't really work today. Just tinkered with my pb gun. lol.

Rawk on... good luck. That o-ring is pretty small... make sure it's not a super tight fit when you put it back in... after re-greasing it you should be able to push it in with the top large brass valve with just your fingers.
