try changing rammer o-rings, sorry not sure which specific one

does the leak get louder when you take the bolt out? if so it may be a deteriorated front ram shaft seal

may also be a damaged valve seat, leaky exhaust valve (check diaphragms are in one piece with no tears), or an incorrect seal on front of valve guide

just got those from my manual, worth a try


Edit: nevermind, took me so long to find my manual and write this you already found the problem, and i have no idea about scratched valve doodahs

Thanks hun all those checked and done, at first it was shooting and sounded like a bust diaphragm so that was first to be checked but they are all fine.... regs still peeing air im going mad..... mad I tell you

But main prob i believe is the scratched valve seat which is pants and not sexy pants either however gun does no longer sound like its on training mode so thats something lol

Ok calm down and don't worry

The reg will be leaking because the number 10 o-ring in the inline bottom is either damaged or not lubed properly. Easy fix just replace it and put a few drops of Eclipse oil on it job done.

As for the gun souning like its in training mode could have just been dirt in the noid or one of the diaphams not seated right but if this seems to have sorted its self out then i would think that it was dirt in the noid and by firing the marker it has cleared.

Leaking down the barrel is normally the valve guide or the exhaust valve. Easy way to identify this is to gas the marker up pull up the bolt pin and slide the bolt forward. If the noise changes as the bolt moves back and forth then it will be a valve leak. Another way to check is to remove the bolt and try to get your finger down the tube to the hole where the air goes upto the bolt. If you can do this then cover the hole with your finger and the leak should stop if it does then you definatly have a valve leak if it does'nt then it will more than likely be the rammer o-rings. If the rammer o-rings are damaged then replace them with a number 9 and a number 11. If your valve guide is scracthed then this would need a new part but i dont think they are expensive less than a tenner if i remember correctly. So give Planet a bell if this is the case and they will get one out to you.

P.S when your listening for the leak please be very careful not to shoot yourself in the ear trust me hurts a lot. Good to make sure the marker is switched off.

If you need anymore help please dont hesitate to p.m me.
