help: 05 speed small leak.

[Tre Thompson]

Just got my speed this week and finally got a fresh board in it.
It fired up great.. shot great.. but I noticed a very small leak in the top/back of the gun.
Again I dont know what the LPR is set at because I dont have a tool kit (getting one soon) and I havnt attached a guage to the front of the gun.

And btw.. about that.. All I have to do is take off the right cover under the barrel (looking at the gun from the front) and drill a hole and attach a small gauge right? I have a volumizer on the other side.

I havnt put tools to it yet because I want your opinion. I put a few drops of oil in the asa thinking the o rings were dry or something.

Heres a pic of where the leak is coming from.. this is as good as I can do to pin point it.

Thank you guys again..
Ive been having such issues getting back into the sport. I love Angels to death and plan on giving them as many chances are I can but if you notice my LCD thread my luck is garbage =(

Dude, i am not even close to being a tech (like Ken or Bob), but i think if you drill a hole in the front plug of an Angel you end up having a 1.5 LBS paper weight....Infact, i am pretty sure all paintball markers don't require drilling unless you are airrating a stripped thread or tapping eyes, if you want to change your pressures you gotta use an angel lpr gauge tool, or have one of those CP reg adapters which can have a gauge added or standard (Usually the holes are predrilled on em)...just my 2 cents.

Also (and i have been directed by a Master Tech up here in Toronto on maintaince), you should not "put a few drops of oil in the asa thinking the o rings were dry or something." Love Juice goes in the small ram hole, air grease for the rest of the internals and the reg.....But i would confirm with the admins on this as well....

As for leaking out the back, my first A4 Fly leaked out the back when a wonderful tart from the local field thought it was funny putting a HP tank into my LP settings and blew the noid, but i highly doubt that is your problem, probably a o-ring change, hopefully the admins will get back to you...

Thank you thank you.. I will check all the o rings.
I got the gun used so im not sure what the settings were at.. for all I know the pressure could of been turned all the way up.. but it shoots great.. just a tiny leak that can be head from close.. if you hold the gun in your hand with your arm streched out you cant hear it.

Well I come to relize the solinoid was missing the smaller gasket.
But I fixed it ghetto style for now. I am going to order one.

I took two piece of black electrical tape and put them sticky side to sticky side. Which is the same thick-ness as the gasket.
I used contruction paper to cut a template then cut the tape to size.
I then took small screw drivers with the help of a candle to heat them up to make the holes clean and correct with no frays.

Put it in.. fired it up.. problem solved >=)

Lol.. I use to watch that alot as a kid.. Guess it finally paid off..
Thank god I didnt watch power rangers or ill be one of thoese guys standing on the side of the road in some weird costume holding up a sign for advertising

Dear Macguyver, enclosed is a paperclip, elastic band and a peice of tape, please help me heh!

Tre that was a great innovative and free thinking fix, while i wouldn't play with the marker in any games with a makeshift gasket, i must say that troubleshooting the issue that way was incredibly intelligent and i totally applaude you for it. Paintball requires allot of willingness to try new things, otherwise the techs would be busy 24/7 with marker fix backlogs. You rocks! Cheers! + AWESOME!

Well here it is =)
Sorry for the bad picture.. sadly thats the best one.. The corner looks bent but it isnt.
I tried to take the best pic I could but it seems like that didnt work out
