Electronic Autococker gas leak

[Andygoth]

Hello

I don't know much about autocockers except what i've read in manuals. recently got back into paintball and my last gun was a tricked out phantom.

Its an eclipse autococker with an e-blade 2 which a friend has given me. It leaks gas through the barrel when the bottle is turned on until the trigger is pulled. it then fires and stops leaking.

Anyone got an idea why it is doing it and how to stop it?

Thanks

Andy

This is quite normal for these as i have three, dont worry about it, just pull the trigger & it will be OK..

as cliff says... one way to stop it from doing that is to cock the gun before its turned on...
its because the hammer rests on the valve pin a tiny amount when the gun isnt cocked which allows the leak...

Thanks for the quick replies

I'd heard about autocockers doing it and tried cocking it manually first but it still leaks. The other autococker he's lent me is an Evolution X with an e-blade, it doesn't do it so thought I'd check to see if there was something wrong.

Thanks again

Its probably just wear on the valve seat/guide, if it does it even when cocked then stops after firing...bit of dirt possibly.
