Auto fire / Air leak issue

[TicaLLioNStaLyN]

Hey Ballers...


My Issue is this...doesn't matter what mode of fire im in. Once i get goin i get like a run on effect until i can somehow make it stop and when it is goin on you can hear air leakin and when i get it to stop i can hear it continue leakin and disconnect air asap so i dont run dry....dont know what it is ...also one more quick question...i got the newer rear bolt and is there 2 O rings on it or just one? might be issue if im missin an o ring some where im just baffled///should your rear bolt fit tight? cuz when i remove stock mine kinda wobbles when i poke it internally.

thanks for any help in advance!

First, some punctuation would be appreciated on your next post.

When was the last time you oiled the marker? You could just be running dry o-rings. You're also gonna want to check your sear and hammer interface to make sure they aren't wearing out, and take a close look at your power tube to make sure there's no crack.

There is only supposed to be one o-ring on the hammer.

What gun do you have?

Oil in the ASA (where the tank screws into). Dry fire with the barrel off about 20 times.

Check to see if your hammer and sear have square and not rounded edges.

I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say he's got:

***Tippmann A-5 Stealth***
- Tippmann E-grip W.a.s. board - 20oz co2
- Tippmann Double Trigger - Remote Line
- Flatline Barrel System - Ricochet Hopper
- Jcs Aluminum Powertube - m4 Stock
- TechT Vortex Mod - Lightning Rod
- Smart Parts Q.e.v.
- Palmers Pursuit Male Stabilizer

Wow, I really missed that one. Fortunately, I just got back from subway and can now read.

Hey corrupted is that enough punctuation?

Eh... I suppose it's better than leet. At least you're using English words in between the confusion.

would a worn hammer or sear cause the air leak though, once i go the auto fire to stop? Also i've switched my aftermarket powertube back with the stock and still the same issue.

The hammer has nothing to do with the air source, it simply strikes the valve releasing the Co2.

If oil in the ASA did not work, its probably a bad O-ring in the valve. you could disassemble your valve (a pain if you don't have the right tools) or just get a new valve.

Does the leak seem like its coming down the end of the barrel? Also,when you cock it back does the leak stop? If so, then I think it may be that the force of the hammer is depressing the valve because there is not enough pressure to keep the valve closed. But that doesnt mean anythings broken, its just how the gun acts (mine does the same thing, however my friends which is older doesn't, which I find interesting).

Pretty close, sometimes it leaks until i shake the **** out of it lol. So is there a way to fix it? how do you deal with it kickin into auto/leak?

p.s. i oil before every field use with 2 drops in the asa

My guess is that the O-ring in your valve is damaged and the valve does not get properly sealed all the time. The shaking rattles it enough to seal the chamber, theoretically.

well, if you cock it back the leak should stop, but if it still leaks, you most likely have a blown o-ring (like orpackrat said). With co2 o-rings can freeze and become brittle, causing them to crack. And for the full auto part, I have two theory's: 1. if your shooting fast it could be that the pressure in your co2 tanks drops below the operating pressure required by the a5, or that your gun starts to freeze up due to the large amount of co2 entering the gun. 2. Your tank is running low on co2, just get it refilled.

but IMO im probably over analyzing this wayyyy too much and all it probably needs is a new o-ring (or a valve if worse comes to worst)

Co2 can damage O-rings but O-rings will survive alot longer if you properly oil them.

The Valve in my 98C is filled with liquid Co2 half the time (winter play) and a high rate of fire in the 20's make my entire gun (barrel, barrel shroud, lower cyclone, gun, X-Chamber, air lines, tank, stock, etc, basically all but the grips and trigger) freeze over with a nice layer of ice and the gun works perfectly. I don't thinks its because of shooting too fast.

Probably just a bad valve O-ring.
