recently my luxe would randomly start pissing air out, so much that it freezes the frame.
it happens randomly, when playing or when its on the table in the pits or whatever it would decide to piss air out.
the o-ring between the frame and the grip frame has bin changed and the reg has been stripped, cleaned and re lubed. was fine then, 10 minutes later it decided to start leaking again.
any ideas what the cause could be and how i could fix it?
i dont have the time to send it anywhere as campaign is just round the corner.
its bin cleaned and lubed after every day of use.

cheers x

what bottle reg have you got ? some are to high pressure and cause seals to go. ill bring the victory so you have a spare ;)

looks like something is causing it to over pressurize,did you dial down the reg after you removed the EF rod as it will now be shooting hot without the rod in and your pressure going into the solenoid will be higher than it needs to be.

so the air isnt even getting to the noid/bolt so only thing i can think off is that its comming from the oring inbetween the frame and the grip frame, replaced that about 5 or 6 times and lubed. still no joy.

the body seals on the victory didnt like lube. had a few leaks all when lubed. took it all off and dried it out. not leaked since
