hi bolter all seven are screwed in 3 at the back two at the front and the two by the soleniod by the check valve do you mean the weird looking o-ring/gasket if so thats still there and looks fine and even with the leak it did not chop a single ball i put abot 750 throught iot before i decided to borrow a mates gut incase i done any more damage

Not sure if this would cause a leak or not but is the spring bolt spring the correct way round? Its conical and snaps into position. Also whats reg gauge showing when its aired up with a full tank?

 

[trigg503]

hi mate not sure about the spring as its the aftermarket bolt will try
swapping it around the reg reads the same as it did before about the 180 mark

 

[Bolter]

hmm, with the old bolt in does it still have the same leak?

 

[trigg503]

yes mate it does

edit: going to get one of these once i get paid and will replace all the o-rings
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130152763599&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003 see if that will sort the problem out

 

[Bolter]

well its probably something simple, but without it here, we cant do anything. I suggest contacting KEE and asking them for some advice. You may have to send it in to them.

We will be at dartford D7s 23rd this month and 7th of next. Come ask if you can get down. We will be scrimming ECI so you may have to wait till the end of the day.

Edit: the team spares kits are great! Very handy.

[Bolter]

Your leak is most likely caused by the poppet seal, I have experienced one or two random poppet leaks and there seems to be no apparent reason for them, usually they go away after 10 or 20 shots and arent a problem. If you take your poppet out and give the seal a wipe and also make sure where the poppet seals in the body is clean. It shouldnt be lubed though just give it a good dry clean, you should give the oring that is on the poppet a good lube though.
If it continues to give you trouble you may find that running your gat at a slightly higher operating pressure might cure it, you may have to turn your dwel down a few blips or simply adjust your velocity adjuster a bit to retain legal velocity.
if all else fails get a new poppet, if a new poppet doesnt work then the poppet seat is fudged/scratched and you may need a new poppet housing/bolt guide (or whatever its called) but its unlikey.
