Angel 05 air trouble

[Chrome Zombie]

Hey guys, don't know if anyone would have a clue how to help me?

My old Angel 05 is refusing to work properly - when I connect my air tank to it, all I get is one massive leak out of what I presume is the ASA (air coming out of the hole in the barrel infront of the ramp). Turning up the primary reg just makes the leak larger. When I try to fire, I get two yellow LEDs, 4th and 5th down, with a red one above them and a green one below them. Occasionally when I first connect the tank, I can fire one shot at about 100 fps.

Any ideas? Battery is fine, I've clean the internals out, O-rings got replaced a few games ago, angel eyes are working. etc etc

Thanks in advance

Right, the bit in barrel that pushes the bolt (dont know the terminology, I am a noob), doesn't move about if i tip the gun. Pushing it with an allen key makes a grating sound, but the leak increases when fully extended and theres only a minor leak if I push it hard all the way to the back of the marker.

Does this have to do with my problem?

Are you sure that it is clean inside ?
The ram looks like dirty and don't move right, i am not sure this quand be a reason on leaking.

Sounds to me like the poppet isnt sealing.

Inside the valve tube (what you call in your post: the barrel) there should be a plastic spacer, spring and valve stem. You can get at these by unscrewing the cap on the front of the marker.

Make sure these are in good condition and assembled properly as the manual shows.

What your desicribing is what would probably happen if your poppet wasnt being pushed closed by the spring.

Thanks for the advise, I'll give it a good clean and lube, and hopefully I can put it back together. If not, there's two Angel tech centres near me - might just mean having to shell out a few quid, but at least I wont have a fecked marker on my hands.

Ah, I see what you mean - the front plate on the right is where my Evolve kit is attached. Guess I'll have a look and a clean.
