okay
so i use the disposable tanks for co2 beacause its hard to get tanks filled.
so i was having problems with my little gold adapter that you screws on to the gun then the disposable tank into that.
i bought a new adapter and the same problem occured. Co2 starts leaking out of the barrel and the adapter and wont stop. So then i took off the steal cable that goes from the grip to the gun. put the gold adapter in the hole and screwed yet another tank onto it. and the same problem occured. i dont think that i need a rebuild kit but idk. the gun is fairly new and has had like a case or 2 shot threw it. please help me out



thanks

Hi
If the co2 is going down the barrel. Try cocking the marker first. If it still leaks down the barrel. Dry fire it a couple of times. If this doesn't stop the leak. Remove the tombstone and add 4 drops of oil. And try the above again. If this doesn't work then you have a stuck or worn out pin valve in the valve body. You need to replace the valve pin or valve body or both.

Cock your gun before airing it up.

okay so if it is a valve should i just replace the orings in it? like buy the tippmann universal kit ( the one thats like $10-15) or just replace the whole housing for it from tippmannparts.com?

did it always happen with these tanks?

sometimes, when there isnt enough pressure, the tombstone doesnt seal properly.... make sure that oring is there, where the tombstone and valve meet....

its happened to me, if its what i had then your air chamber, sorry if thats the wrong name i cant remember right now, needs to be cleaned becuse there prolly a little bit of dirt stoping it from sealing or the oring in there got misplaced in there during cleaning and need to be reset into the right place.

hope it helped its happened to me a few times.
