help with ion leak???

[justinglover]

hey guys help would be good. I've got a leak which appeared to be coming through the barrel. I wasn't 100% sure which of the o rings were faulty so i had the wonderful idea of chaning all of them, the fire chamber, bolt and bolt guide. All have been changed for brand new rings, all being well lubed too. Still the leak hasnt changed. Anybody got any ideas? i'm getting a little frustrated.
Cheers fellas

How large is the leak? Check if it is coming down the barrel by placing your finger down the feedneck. If not, it could be a leak from a hose around the solenoid.

After replacing the orings, did you apply a layer of grease to them?

Also try changing the battery - Could well be something as obscure as that and it's very easy to test.

i had the same faut last week, lubed everything..no help, changed o- rings....no joy....changed battery.....all is good again...as of now, if my ion fails the first stop will be the battery.

Might sound daft but what pressure is in your air bottle?

 

[Ranger]

when you air the marker up is the bolt moving fully into position..if the bolt doesnt fully engage then it could be that...just check and make sure there isnt nothing obstructing or jamming the movment of the bolt.

got 2000 psi left in the bottle, so should be enough. bolt is fully in place and marker will still work but leaks anyway!!!!!!!!!

Do Ions not have a SFT or ring...at the very front of the gun, just before the barrel...? Like a shocker?

[justinglover]
