ok i had a leak but then i fixed it it s all good but then every time i air up my BKO theres a really bad leak and then after a while lke 2 scomds or after i dry shoot the leak will stop it sounds like a valve or sumthing needs air pressure to close but i dont know
the leak is coming from near the back of the gun a lil bit above the grip frame in the back.
couls it also be that my tank had only a lil below 1000psi in it
any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

your lpr is turned up too high, unscrew it, shooting while your doing this and when the leak stops, unscrew it 1/2 of a turn more.

ok its leaking from the trigger frame right? if so do this..open your gun and find the solinoid..there is a back plate on it unscrew it..there will be a spring and a gasket..take out the spring and there is like a small bolt. wipe that off and the inside..oil it and put your gun back together..it should work....if you have any ?'s pm me..

If you take your solenoid apart you will void your warrenty and we will charge you to fix it at the factory when you have to send it in. There are a lot of little parts in the solenoid so don't even mess with it.
check your reg settings to see if they are set right.

I know this doesn't sound like the leak you are having, but for other people who might read this trying to diagnose their leak:
I've noticed that my macroline starts to leak when the output pressure from my HPA tank (preset at 850 psi) drops below 400 psi. Not a big deal--it acts as an ealry warning that I'm almost out of air.

to the icd tech guy i am gong to do that as soon as i get my tank filled which is tomm. and if u dont mind since i already took the soliniod apart due to the directions grim reapper gave me in his other post about taking it apart could u tell me all the parts in the solinoid just so i can have a mental check to make sure evrything was there
any help is greatly appreciated and thnx for the macroline even tho its not the prob.

hey man i know that this is gunna sound crazy but if the leak is comin out of the sides of the solinoid like outta the little black flaps on either side of ti change the battery and it should stop i know it sounds crazy but i tried it and it worked no more leakin and it works perfect i took apart my solinoid also and cleaned it etc and i still didnt work i put a new battery in and it works flawlessy its because the solinoid isnt gettin enough power to it so it tends to leak when the battery gets really low so see if that works for ya
