Ego leak

[binz]

since planets tecs are on holidays till monday i'll ask on here, since youve all done the tec couse.

ok gased up ego noticed a leak through the back end,took rammer apart lubed it up and put it back in, no change. so took rammer apart and changed the o rings ( eclipse ones) still no change, no better no worse. took the hole gun apart lubed everything up and gassed up without grip frame on and the leak is definately from the back, i can feel air from around the QEV's type area.

lets see what you've got , and before you say for me to take the teccy class, i'd love to if you want to pay the fare .

Input pressure too high?

Have you checked your QEVS if your saying it is coming from that area? Might be just the hose or one of the barbs, although I wouldn't have thought that would cause the back end to leak?

 

[binz]

input pressure is between 500-550. And its not the the hoses and barbs... but a good name for a pub though

keep them coming.

Right...looking at teh manual PDF on PLanets site...page 55 area...possibly faulty seals in the QEV or, possible that the LPR is Supercharging...have alook in the manual in the fault finding setion

When your saying 'around the QEV type are' you sure it isn't just the QEV. If so you will need to relpace it. They are not servicable as described in the manual as far as I am aware.

Have you also checked the o-rings on the rammer housing?

 

[binz]

i'm not sure about the QEV's them selves, its only a very very gentle feeling of air around the QEVs on the outside. but a very noticeable leak and noise from inside the bolt area which gets louder when its out. i've checked and changed the orings on the rammer and the housing with no changed.not the LPR as thats working fine.

oh well looks like its going to planet 2moro

is there any damage to the solinoid... if you screw the grip screws in too far then it can damage the solinoid.. usually see some marking on the solinoid where the grip screws would be....???

 

[nickp]

did you get this sorted.... if you did what was the problem??

 

[binz]

to start with i have to say sorry to Mr n trutter, as he has pointed out to me that Planet tec's are never on holiday,they're always working. (even if this is not what i was told when i rang them)

Ego is wizzing its way to planet at the mo , so as soon as i know i'll tell you.

who ever was closest will get a special prize
