View Full Version : Problem with threads at bottem of expansion chamber
Ive been using a JT excellerator 4.0 for about 3 months and ive never had any problems with it before. I used it last week and as soon as i put a C02 tank on it, it started leaking where the threads meet the bottom of the expansion chamber. I tried taping it and it worked for one game. The next game, i tried retaping it and even tightening the bolt, but nothing worked, it still leaks horribly. Anyone have any ideas on what to do or had a similar problem? I havent oiled my gun before, but probably should... Please help, im hoping to play in a game tomarrow...

clean, inspect, oil, carefully tighten sealed fittings... easy as that.

There is a rubber washer in the female end of the line. That is how it is seal. See if you can take that out. Take it to your local hareware store and pickup a new one. Before you put it back in, clean around the connections, oil the washer, put the washer back in, tape or lock tie (red) the thread, and reassemble. If you us lock tie, wait 24 hours for it to dry before you put air through it.
