Luxe 1.5 air leak!!!!

[The Typical Brit]

Hey guys, just got my Luxe 1.5 today, first time i fired it it was perfect later on that day i go to fire again and after every shot i can feel a big gust of air on my face and around my hands where it is leaking from the back cap and grip frame, it is also extremely loud and has a lot of kick compared to normal, i have replaced all the necessary O-rings and cleaned the reg and replaced all the O-rings inside the reg, however there is still that annoying and worrying leak. If anyone could help me please leave a reply as i'm in desperate need for some help.

Many thanks.

it could be that it's been over pressurised so its venting off the exess pressure to prevent damage to the solenoid, this would also explain the increase in kick and sound when shooting

could be as simple as just lowering the pressure on the reg, youre best off screwing the adjustment screw all the way in (no pressure to gun) air it up and slowly unscrew untill the gun can cycle then take it to the chrono to get velicity set up, but before you do make sure the bolt is lubed properly as this can change the operating pressure needed to cycle the gun

hope this helps

Hey buddy,
Thanks a lot it really helped however i'm getting FSDO issues now, it's bed enough that it doesn't even move the first ball, my feather touch screw is out so it can't be that. If you have any solutions it would really help, again thanks a lot.

fsdo could be because youve turned the reg down so that the gun only just cycles but if youve chrono'd it at around 280 and youre still getting it then make sure the fsdo protection setting and the dwell on the board are whats recomended in the manual (cant remember off the top of my head)

if that doesn't solve it make sure the bolt is properly lubed, not enough or too much lube can cause sticktion slowing the bolt down, ive found that it's best to use less lube but clean and re lube after every day's play, you only need enough lube to fill the gap between the o rings and the bolt as well as a very thin layer where the o rings move (if that makes any sense)

but if youre still having problems after that then try upping your dwell by a couple of ms, youll loose a bit of efficiency but it should sort the problem, then when the o rings are a little more bedded in you should be able to bring it back down without any problems


hope this helps

Im Spencer's mate, we fixed the issue al we did was lower the fsdo timer to 20 seconds then waited after 20 secs then it worked fine shoots smooth as
