[ElectricHead]

a leak coming from the barrel? are you sure it isnt the LPC?

[spyderman one]

the gun is brand new first time co2 has been on it,i put my ear up to it and i can hear a leak coming from somewhere inside the gun.

Put soapy water on your gun, were the bubbles come from is were your leak is.

[spyderman one]

why soapy water, i'll try it, but what do think it is

[Counterfeit]

Cause soapy watter will bubble were the leak is. It does work. That is how you find were a leak is on your gun if you don't know.

Could be any number of things, but most likely it's an O-ring problem. I'd first try replacing the O-ring that goes on the tank. The first time I hooked up my tank to my marker it did the same thing. It was the O-ring on the tank. If that's not it ... check your owners manual, it probably has a Trouble shooting section.

Good Luck.

it could be that the cup seal is scratched.

I agree, sounds like the cup seal...Kingman ships a lot of spyders with bad cup seals.... try replacing it.

Just the other day..I changed my valve....and I was having the same problem....I changed the cup seal 3 times...finally I took out the cup seal...used 800 grit wet dry paper and sanded the cup seal...oiled it up..put it back in....and that seemed to stop the leak...oh....and I streched the valve spring alittle....to put mor pressure on the cup...

Also...if your co2 is low on pressure.(empty or low tank)...this can cause the cup seal to leak from lack of pressure in front of the valve

theese are some of the things I was told as I tried to fix my spyder's leak down the barrel...

check out..trouble shooting on this link...good info..

One thing i believe you all failed to meantion..

Is the Spyder Cocked wehn you hear the leak ?

consult the spyder trouble shooting list, and you will see this is one of the first things asked.

hrmm...it's either the valve is f*cked up, the cup seal is bad, there is an o ring burst, or you're low on Co2. if it's a cup seal problem, get a Lapco Cup seal..best you can get...it will never leak.
