Funny little ego leak

My ego 8 leaks from the qev every now and again, i can gas it up and it will work fine 9/10 times but every so offen it has a little leak from the qev, it still shoots perfectly and consistant over the chrono even when its leaking, i can strip it down and it works fine so i think problem fixed but then after being de-gassed for a while (say over night) it might leak when its gassed back up, turn off the gas and back on once or a few times and its fine.

Could it be a qev diapham not seeting quite right or something?

I have done the usual battery and also changed all the rammer o rings and the 2 small o rings that seal between the frame and the qev.

Should i just strip the qev and see how it goes?

Its not a big problem as like i say it turn it off and back on a couple of times its spot on, it just kinda annoys me coz i like everything to work bang on all the time, i keep everything in top notch condition lubed after every play and serviced regularly. The only thing i have changed is a ccu kit recently but i wouldnt have thought that could cause any problems?

Cheers :D

Chriz, try a tiny amount of eclipse grease to ensure correct seating.
Just spoke to singer and he said the same, i presume you mean between the frame and the qev? I tried to change the 2 little o rings that seal it but the comp parts kits dont have exactly the same size in them. I opted for the slightly smaller but fatter o rings from the kit and they seam a nice tight fit.

The old o rings i kept just to be on the safe side as there didnt seam to be any damage what so ever to them.

Singers going to give me a diaphragm for the qev i will give that a bash to (i noticed planet put them up to 23 quid :O and he has some spare).

Its annoying coz you think its fixed and it run fine just every now and again there is a tiny little leak!!

Cheers :D
