Hiya, ive been having a problem with my etek and was hoping you fine folk may be able to help the people i speak to are not sure
Its a 3 year old etek and has done me proud but lately it has begun to leak air. when screwing in the tank it leaks out air from (what sounds like) above the trigger very heavily. Ive tried stripping it down to the bare essentials to see if i can feel the point it is coming from but no joy. when leaking air i tried to fire it but the bolt moves so weakly its clear not enough air is getting through to it.
(it did this once before when i went over board with oiling up o-rings within the main body of the marker, after a wipe down of any excess it began to work. that is not the case today)
In the 3 years ive had it, ive never had to do any real work on it or replace any parts all ive done are the basics of cleaning off dirt and paint, lubing up and cuddling it over night before a big game to show it i still care so i guess its over due somethign like this.
I've tried replacement batteries of course , a different tank and a reg, if you have any ideas on specifics i should check or change please let me know. i have heard i can send this to eclipse and have a checkup / service but they have not responded to my emails does anyone know if this is true?
Thanks
