I have a leak coming out of my bolt, znd i dont know what tp do. I just got my asa adpter bac form being tapped, and when i scrwed it in, and put a bottle into it to test for leaks, i have a slght leak comig out of the bolt. It stops when i put my finger in it. Then, i changed the cup seal, and it helped a little, but there is still a slight leak. Could it be because i didnt hook the reg up to it, or is there something else i can do to fix it. Please respnd to this, i need help quick, so i can fix it, thansk.

if you had you marker apart for any long period....sometimes the cup seal looses it's "seat"...you need to gass it up...and fire your marker a few times sometimes that re-seats it...I found that if you can get it to slow to almost a stop...you cand gas it up and let it sit overnight and that will re seat it....if you can't get it to slow enough..just cock your marker and the spring on the valve cup will put pressure on it and re seat it...
Hope that works for you...also...oil your cup seal really well...that helps too...

for the first two hours i played, it wAs lEaking today, but i played ne wasy, I used an on/off tank, so when i wasnt shooting, id turn the tank of so i wouldnt leak. It shot fine, but i went through air reealy fast. Then, i forgot to turn my reov on, shot too fast, and chopped a ball, so i had to take apart my gun to fix it. After i put it back together, it worked ok, it was on and off leaks here and there. But i have a question. It only leaks when i use the cup seal and rod that i got with my turbo valve, but when i use the one form my stoc valve, it dosnt leak too often. i still cant get it to wkr perfect, but i was happy today, my psi is down to like 280, at 290 fps, whic aint bad, considering i dont have my lpc long yet.

ok...to fix it for sure....just get a lapco cup seal...they are alittle softer and seal really well...and you shouldn't have that problem again....G3 has them for a few bucks....like 2 or 3...
