whats the problem with the gun, does it turn on? does it cycle (click when trigger pulled)?does it leak? if so where?

Originally there was a couple of problems, It looks like the previous owner got the end cap stuck and had warped all the threading trying to get it off, I've fixed that but theres still a small leak coming from the end cap (not a serious issue, I might have to end up welding and re-threading it )
The only issue actually advertised was the battery harness wires have come apart from the trigger switch, temporally fixed that with the soldering iron, got a new harness coming in the post, but its now fixed enough to turn on and air up.
When i activate the trigger with the eyes off the LED's dont flash even though the switch definitely has been pressed (could be a problem with the switch, board or solenoid)

So to sum up, it does turn on, it does cycle but the LED'S dont flash, It is leaking but only a little bit. I hear the click from the trigger switch but not from the solenoid....When i get back from work im going to give cleaning the solenoid a go, hopefully that could fix it

could be the board not the solenoid, best thing to do is speak direct to dye europe or go on the tech threads on here and explain it all.

or you could download the pm7 manual from dye/proto website.

Got the Solenoid back up and running, had quite a lot of lube inside which i've cleaned and replaced, think this was the problem.

Thanks anyways, Solenoid no longer needed
