I finally had the chance to sit down with my timmy and check the air lines. They are fine but I still get the leaking nose from the solenoid area. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

bad cup-seal? if you aren't keeping your poppet assembly nice and greasy it can wreck yer cup seal, and that makes it leak like that.

U might have a peice of teflon tape in the solenoid, and that might be causing the leak. Check out all the problems, solutions on this page, it should help.

Is it coming form ur solenoid, or the front of the gun near the regs? If its near the front, turn down ur lpr, its just a release of gas because the pressure is too high, that was my problem a while ago.

u either got something in the soleniod, ie: teflon. Or u got ur LP reg turned to high, make sure u got guages that are around 1-400 on HP reg and 1-150 on LP reg. This is so that u get a actuate reading of what the pressure really is.

well really it's like they said above. if you turn your low pressure reg down and the leak does not go away then you have some foreign objects in your solenoid. you will either need to fix it yourself or send it in to bob. you can try to replace your hoses and see if that helps. its standard aotococker hose available at any self respecting pro shop. do you have guages on your marker? if so post what the settings are on here so we can better help you. you lp reg should be no more that 100psi at an absolute maximum. another leaking area that just came up was a small leak around where the set screw that holds the lower tube in place. to find it remove the grip frame and you will see it on the bottom of the main body assembly it's about 2-3 inches back from the front of the marker. check that as well and make sure it's tight. other than that it's going to be the solenoid.

sent in to get solenoid cleaned wednesday. Had already replaced hose, lp reg isn't even at 10psi it will leak.
