It's got to be o rings. Probably the tombstone one. I'd strip it and make sure everything is in order and re lube all the o rings.

i had a similar problem, is it also leaking past the bolt into the cyclone??

if so it will be the O-rings on the bolt, power tube etc, just go on youtube type in A5 maintenance and watch the videos, they will show you how to take the whole bolt system out.

once you know how to take the bolt system out, all you need to do is lube it all to hell. and problem should be solved

Hope this helps

What they said - just give it a good oiling! You might find that an oring has dried out or split. If its still causing you problems after you've done that, drop me a pm and I've got a load of orings and spare valves knocking around!

It's an A5, so doesn't have a reg as such Neo. They operate at around 800psi, or whatever your bottle is kicking out.

BHP, have you been using the marker before without issues or have you just bought it 2nd hand?

Firstly, check that the velocity screw isn't in all the way. If its not that, strip it down and check everything is in the correct place and lubed up, including pulling the valve out from the power tube and check all o rings for damage etc.....replace as necessary.

Pm me if you have any more trouble.

Hi Ainsley

It's Matt from NPF....It was Mike's Camo one. I thought I'd post it up here before bothering you as its a Sunday...

I know you have spoken now and it's all sorted. Dont know what the problem was but I stripped it down for him and oiler her up again before putting back to together and all is fine now...wierd lol
