my ion leaks whenever i put air through it, the bolt goes forward and gas comes from around it, i can push the bolt back and it stops but then move forward again. I have checked the bolt and all o-rings are ok and greased. Help please

ok have you removed the body from the trigger frame?
if so check the short hose at the back for a split, first time i took mine apart this hose broke as the solenoid housing doesnt come out like the instructions say.

Bolt moves forward when Ion is pressurized.
· Check the largest o-ring around the bolt for damage (bolt sail o-ring, 16x2-mm ID); replace if necessary.
· Check the inside rear o-ring in the body breech section (17/70); replace if necessary.
· Verify that pressure is indeed moving through the solenoid while the marker is idle. For this, you will have to first separate the frame from the body and remove the banjo fitting from the vertical adapter. Then, pull out the circuit board so it is free from the frame, and reinstall the banjo fitting into the top of the vertical adapter. Remove the fitting from the underside of the body breech (the one with the 1/8" microline) and pressurize the marker for a short period of time. Air should leak out the 1/8" microline when you do this. If air doesn't leak, then the soleniod is the problem, and should be disassembled and cleaned, and reassembled correctly.
· If air is released from the microline, disassemble the solenoid and verify that the armature is installed correctly. The black end of the armature needs to face down.

take the whole board out of the body and connect the battery and turn it on. when you fire it, you should be able to hear the armature clicking up and down. If it only clicks up and doesn't return, you have magnetised the bracket. I have not yet found a way of mending it but I suspect you have to twat the bracket (not the board!) with a hammer.
No one knows about this except me. Not SP or anyone. I discovered it. Jay didn't know about it or Oli from Halloween but I have a bracket it has happened to beyond experimental doubt. I shall call it The Garfs Phenomenen because I like the word and yet don't know how to spell it.

there are machines around that can demagnetise parts. they can also magnetise just about anything 
I know cos there is one where i work.

I'd pay for that.....
