my guess is your pressure is to high, have you just cleaned the lpr? if so i would reajust the lpr screw, it says how far it should be screwed in, in the manual, the wind down the hpr (as you would to change the velocity), then gas it up. if that doesnt work let me know and il get the manual out/find the suspected oring

the oring on the top of the inline where is screws into the frm is a 015 nbr 90, the same size as a tank oring

if it is leaking constantly from the small vent hole on the side of the reg then you will need to open the reg up and check that both the seal on the top of the piston and the oring around its base are ok, if the seal is shot then you will need probably need a new piston, if the seal looks ok then the oring either needs a little grease on it or needs replacing, i cant remember the size off the top of my head but it will be in the manual.

i checked the piston and it was fine and also i changed the o ring and greased it up and i adjusted the lpr what are you suppost to use on the lpr eclsipe grease or gun oil

so a friends ego is leaking from the area below the bolt (think its the rammer area) near the back, above the grip, comes after working fine, and then being cleaned and lubed/oiled.. any help on this matter? all the O-rings were working before the clean, wwhich was followed to the manual (cotton swaps, and then oil/grease) so not sure what is causing this, and didnt want a new thread as the etek is very similar (08 ego)

Hello

The reg leaking out of the vent hole. It could be one of the #11 o-rings in the adjuster screw. But most of the time its the #8 0ring that sits inside the adjuster screw.

you will need to remove the adjuster screw. it goes upwards as if it was going inside the reg.
