leak in impy

[trenzo]

thanks alot guys, help much appreciated!
the leak was occuring when i put around 50 psi through the marker so i know it wasn't that (i think someone mentioned it may be) The bottle i am sure it was just cause it was such a low pressure so leaked out the remander but i now have no air so can't test my marker. I have done everything said and the leak appered to stop when i re did the gasket but air was going the wrong way anyway as the bolt flew forward... will let you all know once i have got air and tested it if i have any more problems but i got a good feeling (he says....)
cheers all -again, apreciate it.

just on the off chance, are the air holes on the ram housing blocked?

 

[trenzo]

right............ i did all the above but there is still a leak i gassed it up without the trigger frame attatched so i could see and feel exactly where this was coming from and it is coming out of the solinoid. it is coming out of the coil area.
i am not sure if it's meant to but the noid itself has had the wires glued into place. again i am not sure if this was previously to fix a leak or if it just comes like that so the wires don't come unattached mid game. either way i think the air is coming out of the glue area......(there is a small gap you can see
if that makes no sense what so ever then i will take a photo and label it like the top one.
cheers

As I recall, the impy 'noids have the glue there from the factory holding the wires down. You probably need to replace (LIGHT greasing might work too) the o-rings on the spool valve shaft, sounds like that's where your leaking from, if I'm hearing you right.

make sure the screws are done up tight on the noid...dont break them tho!

tried all of this guys and still a small leak. it has reduced but still is knoticable and eats air fast... well not literally but yeah. anything else i can do or do i need a new solinoid? - the leak is dffinaltly out of it/underneath it

thanks for all the help

Well, we may all be making a misdiagnosis, being as we're only going on a description of a leak, and not able to actually see, hear, and experience it first hand, so my suggestion before you shell out for a new 'noid would be to take it to a good tech or see if Smart Parts will have a look at it for you.

Being an ex impy owner myself I have loads of spares including a spare solenoid if you need.
Only thing wrong with it is the wires came detached form the housing. Other than that it worked fine.

But before check this link to see i'ts all gone back together properly...

Hope this helps.

And I'd take that geddon off and use a max-flow! Geddon's aren't accurate enough for impulses so you risk the chance of putting far too much air through, and too much and even the burst disk can't handle it. Or put an inline reg on it, not just a gas through.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but being a geddon owner it's just my experience

what you should do is chek that you got the gasket (i think thats what its calld, im referrin to the bit that goes between the imp itsself and the noid) the right way round... hapnd 2 me once and i had what sounds like the same prob... also you could chek out this...
