E-blade solenoid fault ?

[Lucky]

I don't know if it is actually a fault which is why i'm asking?
If i set the gun in classic mode and pull and hold the trigger, i can hear gas escaping from the solenoid, which i'm not sure it should, or are they meant to vent?
The gun works fine but if i'm losing a small squirt of gas everytime i pull the trigger then the efficiency will be down, so i was wondering if maybe the manifold gasket was leaking but i'm not going to try and fix it until i know there's a fault?
Any idea's?

heh, if i understand you corret you mean you pull the trigger and a small burst of gas comes from the solonoid and stops?

if so, this is normal, its the gas from the ram venting

if it continues to leak untill you release the trigger then it is a problem.

No brian,
when i hold the trigger and keep it held, there's a hiss from the solenoid, which i assume from your reply means that there's a fault with it?
correct?

Slightly overpressure? Never did it when I had it...bung a drop of oil in the ASA, when you gas it up.

Actually...its probably coz your still using that horrible Co2 Stuff...dont...coz if you arent careful..you will bugger your Noid...you have been warned

3 things spring to mind.

1 as skeet says, too high cocking pressure

2 ram o-ring gone

3 leakey noid

or any number of other things. best bet ( if its not number 1 ) is send it to someone who knows what they are doing before you break it
