Hey guys, i took apart my whole gun except for the front cap and the valve... I took off the solenoid and its gasket and when i put everything back together and gassed it up. It didn't leak at first but right when i pull the trigger it starts shooting air out from the area above the valve. Theres air shooting out of the front of the bolt too. Whats wrong? My friend saids its valve related... but i think its more like solenoid... *If you are confused... tell me how you comprehend of it and i'll try to correct what you comprehended... any help would be great.
my guess is that the noid got put together with the end cap upside down or you forgot a spring..... on second thought, better double and triple check the outer o-rings on the ram assembly. If you took the ram off of the hammer, then you better check the inner o-rings as well.

The noid was put together correctly... maybe except for the gasket? The assembly wasn't taken apart... i just took it out wiped the DOW and put a small coating on it. THe o-rings wouldn't just suddenly go bad would it?
it's possible that the outer orings on the assembly could have been sliced on the threads on the way in.

do you have a tapeworm?
if not that kinda sounds like what bolt stick is...just a guess but maybe?

can you explain that a bit better because it sounds exactly like your just shooting normally (pulling tirgger valve releaseing air and air coming from the front of the bolt)
it could be valve related or it could be bolt stick

i think its one of 2 things...
make sure wen the its not gassed up that the bolt moves all the way forward and all the way back. if not take the bolt pin out and correct it. also make sure ur pressure is between 150-200. i had my pressure too high once and it leaked rite below the valve area. check those and it should work.

it did move all the foward then it pushed back... the pressure was at 120. But i don't think its the pressure... its probably was dr j said... the o-rings but i don't have big enough o-rings right now.
