Empire axe major air leak!

[slayerklx88]

I need help, my axe was left for weeks with the bottle on it and air turned on, then when i fired it, it just releases a massive woosh of air from the end of the barrel that drains the bottle in seconds and it now does it every time i turn the air on.

Sounds like an o-ring has burst, but i cant see where, as the bolt o-rings look fine. Anyone got any ideas?

From the barrel

From the barrel

Regardless of the o-rings looking fine theres clearly something wrong so change them and try again.

(also make sure the pressure on the reg is correct 180-200psi)

Yea pressure is fine, just swapped the axe's reg on to my mini and it works fine, so must be the bolt or poppet.. I've taken the bolt out and velocity adjuster off but cant seem to remove the valve..

Thanks for your help

have you tried resealing the poppet ? screwing the back cap all the way in and out again?

 

[slayerklx88]

yea tried that with no luck, just completely removed the poppet, checked the o-ring, re assembled it and now it works fine

thanks for the reply's!
