Ion problem

[sanguinius]

I will warn you now that I am a complete newb so thats why I am asking for help. However, I have done some research into the problem and want to check that I am doing the right thing before I go taking apart my ion.

I attatched my air bottle for the first time today to test fire the ion. The ion has an asa with on/off adapter, this one:

So I turned the asa to on and I could hear air going straight through the gun and out of the barrel, and as far as I can tell thats the only place it was coming from. So I presume there is a leak at some point, the info that I found said to check the following:

bolt sail o-ring (16x2-mm ID)
bolt stop o-rings (14/70 and 20/70)
body breech seal (17/70).

This is where I am stuck, the bolt o-ring is obviously on the bolt, but where are the other two? Also If I buy the 'Ion seals kit' will I get all the things I need to fix this? Or should I get something different?

Also, when I pulled the trigger nothing happened, is this due to the leak or could this be a different problem?

Any help would be great, thanks.

may seem stupid but change the battery,clean and relube and fire it dry a few times.come back if that doesnt work.


find it odd that most SP problems can be fixed by changing battery

I will have to buy some new batteries. is the ion seals kit the best thing to get or is there a better set to buy?

as bslf said..before you go buy anything else change the battery...i have lost count of the number of times my ion has gone down mysteriously and it has been because of the battery.

yes the full seals kit that sp does would be the best spares kit for the marker.

yeah, I will change battery before I do anything else, but I am buying some spares awell, then I will have what I need if anything goes wrong.

are any of these batteries any good? or can you suggest a better place to get them?

Procells are industry-standard batteries and will work fine in your Ion. I've been using the same Procell in my marker for almost 2 months now without a problem.

erm is the bolt pushed all the way back just i believe air can escape if the bolt is in the fully forward position like myne did. if the ball breech area is obscure by the bolt when you look down the feedneck then push it back and try again

 

[sanguinius]

will try that to, need to get air filled again tho

okay, so was the bolt forward when you looked though??
