Help!

[paintbrawler]

i got my co2 filled yesterday and i screwed in my tank and all i heard was co2 leaking out the barrel. it was pretty loud. and then i tried shooting it and i got co2 flakes or snow flakes. thats never happened, and i have an x-chamber. i tried puttin more loctite on the vertical adapter to valve connection last night but havent tested it cause i need to wait for it to dry. help me

Hmm, if it's worked before, i dont know what is going on.

If you just put the X-chamber on, than it may be the loctite.

You've got a "down the barrel" leak? Try putting a few drops of oil in your verticla adapter (connection closest to the valve) and dry fire the gun about 30 times. This will lubricate each internal o-ring in the valve, and hopefully cure the leak.

Sometimes there's dust, or debris that may keep the cup seal from closing fully. Shooting oilthrough it may get rid of any debris in the valve.

no the x-chamber was put in a couple of months ago. is the oil in the vert adapter supposed to be an instant fix, cause i did it and it didnt do anything it still kept leakin.

if it helps, it leaks out of the side-cocking slot also. and when i hold it vertically with the barrel in the air the leaking gets quieter, when i hold it vertically with barrel toward ground it gets louder. someone plz help me.:|

If it's leaking out of both the barrel and the cocking slot it's probably somewhere in or near your power chamber. check around the threads of the vertical adapter. If it's not there, then you may have a leak in the chamber itself, which is all kinds of bad. If that is the case, you will probably need to order a new one (power chambers aren't very "user servicable"), either from tippmann or psychoballistics. psychoballistics makes both a plastic (stock) and alluminum chamber, but i would be wary that the aluminum would seriously damage the inside of my gun, and wear out very quickly.

:peace:

Are you cocking the gun before gassing it up? Mine was leaking a bit like that (I had no oil for a while). I got some more oil, shot it through, it still leaked slightly. By the time I got the the playing field, the leak was gone, worked for me.

Your cup seal is dry.
oil that and you will be fine.

[paintbrawler]

ok, i checked the valve all o-rings seem to be alright. cocking the gun did nothing.

someone told me that there is an o-ring between the valve and vert adapter and that it was causing the leak. is there an oring there??? :confused:

[kaltj]

there should not be an o-ring there, as the vert should be loc-tite'ed into place. if it isn't held by loc-tite, that may be the problem

The snow part could be because the tank is a shade over pressurized. It happened to me right after i got my X-chamber, I had my gas man fill the tanks FULL 'n the temp went up a bit before I used 'em. Next day I screwed on the tank 'n it shot snow for the first fifty or hundred rounds, after that I oiled it down, that 'n the decrease in pressure 'n badda bing snow goes bye-bye.
