[spartan85]

hi guys,just gettin my gear ready for a game tomorrow nd ive got an air leak comin from the rear of my pm5 by the firebolt,ive had everything out and checked/replaced seals but still no joy,im not the most technical minded when it comes to the pm5 so any help would be muchly appreciated.

Cheers

sounds like the oring at the baack of the bolt mate check the back two orings on the bolt the small ones

If you're real low on air it'll leak out of the back cap too, as there isnt enough pressure for it to seal properly.

If thats not the case consult this

i have a pmr and had a hairline crack in the back cap. fitted a ally one and sorted the problem. might not be just offering my experience. but had the same pressure leak from mine.

PM6s have alloy back caps as standard so not likely an issue

ok just a thought. trying to help. and he said it was a pm5

ok replced every possible o-ring,fire bolt inner and outer,lpr,reg rings,everything and still doing it,except now its coming from inbetween the solenoid and the frame,so i thought ok perhaps its that seal,kinda odd shaped 1 so not having a spare,i took the solenoid out of my spare pm5 and fitted that,with its seal and its still doing it,full air tanks,replaced macro and asa and the lot just to eliminate but cant seem to stop it,realy driin me mad,am i missing something realy obvious??

I know you said you have already but change the sail 0 ring on your bolt again.

Did you put grease on o-ring ?

What did you do the day the leak happened ?
Do you have enough air on the bottle ?
Did you try shooting once and see if it is still leaking ?

ok ill try the o ring again.i didnt do anything i hadnt done before.went through my pre game checks,checked all the hoses and fittings,went through my board settings and then fitted the bottle and as soon as i screwed in the asa,started leaking air by the bolt.stripped it out,replaced the o rings and greased with Sleak.done the lpr aswell and re checked,then i got the leak from the solenoid area but having replaced the solenoid with a spare im convinced it cant be that,not making much sense
