I have the same leak on my ego 06 mate.

After taking the gun apart and putting it back together again a stupid amount of times, i think i have traced the cause of the leak to the exhaust valve that sits at the front end of the rammer housing.

I found this out by doing the following, try it to see if this is the same problem on yours.

Remove the bolt from your marker so you can see the rammer bolt through the hole in the bottom of the bolt chamber.

Just in front of the rammer bolt you will see the end of the exhaust valve sticking out of the small brass guide.

If you apply a little pressure with an allan key or screw driver to the end of the exhaust valve while you have your air bottle on the gun you should hear a change in noise from your air leak, which i assume means you need a new exhaust valve kit as the one on the gun is letting air through before the rammer bolt strikes it.

Just ordered one for mine so will let you know how it goes.

ok i've checked and no it isnt the valve thankfully,

i changed the front o-ring but still no luck.

 

[Ali]

and....since there was very little left in my tank, so maybe that could be the cause of the leak??
and when i tried shooting my ego the paint just fell out of the barrel so does that happen whne its low on air.


sorry for all theses questions as its my first ego so i dont know very much about it.

cheers.

Try changing the middle oring on the rammer. When you take the bolt out is the leak coming from the rammer housing, or is it coming from the hole just below the feedneck in the breach (stick your finger in there and see if the noise changes)? Also, what is your dwell set at?

 

[Ali]

my dwell is set at 15.5ms which i havnt changed since i got it.
and im out of air now so i cant check. and i THINK its comming from the rammer housing but not sure.
also when the leak started i was quite low on air (not far of the 0) so you think that could cause the leak??
and when the gat is pressurised and i puch the bolt a little forwards the leak stopps.
cheers

 

[Ali]

the leak is now sorted.

either the front o-ring on the rammer or just lack of air in the tank.
