so when i was balling yesterday, i found a problem with my fitting on the asa.basically whenever i turned on the asa to have hte air flow in, the fitting would leak out where you put the macroline in.like the part you push in would raise up and alot of air would leak.i made it stop by pushing down on the macroline a bit to possibly get it into place, but its happened a few times now.at first i thought it was the macroline itself causing the leak, but i replaced it and it still was doing the samething.is there anyway to fix this or should ijust go out and buy a new fitting.

My fittings have busted before. Basically, if they're leaking, then just replace them. When I have to replace em, I usually buy a couple of spares just in case because they're relatively cheap around here.

yeah it was weird though i noticed it right when i got it out of the box, but then it stopped so i thought it was fine.then it started happening on a more daily basis.

its not leaking from where hte fitting is attatched to the asa.its leaking where the fitting is attatched to the macroline.but it doesnt matter, just gonna go replace em.eclipse seems to be well known for bad fittings lol.

I guess I just figured out the first thing I'm getting for my Ego then...

Oh yeah, fittings on Egos are often overlooked. Most brand new Egos come with fittings that are a pain to use when removing the macroline. Basically pliars are your only hope until you get new (or aftermarket) ones.

yeah i noticed that it was pretty difficult to take the lines out, but i got it out without using any tools.i'll probably take it to the shop when i pick up my shocker.

I'll just put a new fitting on when I get a Star reg so I don't have to deal with removing the PE one.
