Hi. I got a response trigger, and i put it on myself. but ever since i did there has been a little leak coming from where my expansion chamber screw into the power tube at. If anybody knows how to fix this please tell me.

Have you tried teflon tape?

[tonner68]

no i havent. how should i go about doing that?

You wrap the teflon tape around the threads counter-clockwise. It does a better job if you wrap it two to three, maybe four times around the threads, but no more than that. Other things that could help include replacing expansion chamber o-ring, and oiling it. I'd say do all four. I had the same problem, and it wasn't corrected until I tried all of the above.

thanks. but i gotta game tomorrow, do u thhink i could play for like 4 hours without it causing any more damage. cuz i really dont have time to take it all apart. It doesnt leak that much at all, so it prolly wouldnt waste that much CO2

It really doesn't take that long. The hardest part is the somewhat copious amounts of elbow grease you need to apply. You will really be thanking yourself if you fix it tonight (or kicking yourself if you don't). The biggest problem I forsee is the expansion chamber working itself a little loose, and within about 5-10 seconds all your air will be gone in a fantastic spray of CO2. It won't do anything really drastic, like explode or break apart, but it will effectively ruin your day of paintballing because you will be out of commission until you perform the above mentioned repairs, not to mention refill your air tank, and maybe waste another half a tank of air getting it just right. So remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

alright, thanks man. but i still dont have enough time to do it, im going hunting in the morning, and paintball at 12, so opefully nothing bad happens and i can fix the little leak later on. thanks for your help

hmm well i guess it is to late to say this but you could always remove the x chamber and just screw the tank in vertically, which always help seein how all the liquid stays in the bottom of the tank
