a little help!!!!!

[aznpaintball111]

ok yesterday i was playing at my field and then i shot about a hopper then i hear this huge leak coming down the barrel. i replaced every o ring in the bolt and pin and it still leaks i also lubed it. When it leaks it shoots but can any of you guyz find a way to fix this?

[fepjewfro13]

Take apart the whole gun(I'm sure you know how) and check every o-ring. Also, check the reg 4 leaks. if you still cant find the problem send it to FEP. I hope I helped!

[fepjewfro13]

Also check the bolt for leaks.

[aznpaintball111]

how would the reg o rings have to do with a leak down the barrel?

[Physcojosh]

Whats your Lpr set at?

[fepjewfro13]

I was thinking of something else.
Check the bolt for cracks or dents

[aznpaintball111]

haha idk what my lpr is set at its a gen1 with no guage how many turns so i turn the lpr in?

[Physcojosh]

well if your LPR is set to low, it will leak.. is it commin out of the Frame?

[aznpaintball111]

a lil is commin from da frame and a lot is comming out from the body

which way do i turn it to make the lpr higher?

[Physcojosh]

Turn it in to Raise it im pretty sure.. just turn it in a little untill it stops leaking.

Whats happening is its Not getting enuff Air to Keep it Sealed.

[aznpaintball111]

well i turned in lik in all they way and whiel i was doing that it still was leaking liek crazy

[Physcojosh]

then turn it out ward, you dont wanan Over pressurize it...

which bolt are you using? try the stock bolt...

[aznpaintball111]

well even when i turn it out its leaking and im using the stock gen1 bolt

[Physcojosh]

How much air in your tank?

and its Deff an Oring, you need to Replace them.

[aznpaintball111]

dude i replaced every o ring in the gun lpr bolt pin everything!

and i got about 2000psi in my 68/45

i bought the o ring kit from markerkits.com

[Physcojosh]

Make sure you Putting the Right ones where they gotta be..
O and is the White Washer on the Bolt pin, you do need that... lol

if that doesnt work.. best bet, would be to Send it in to Fep...

[aznpaintball111]

yeah i put every o ring in the right place and the washer is in

and i think ima send it to fep in da next few days

but has thing ever happened to anyone?

[Physcojosh]

When it does.. its always the Orings.. and or lack of Lube..

[aznpaintball111]

i think the spring in ym lpr is messed up bc its older

[Physcojosh]

Can you squeeze it? if so its Faulty, but you should just send it in Anyway.

[aznpaintball111]

noep i cant really squeeze it but yeah ima send it in after i call em for the rma and stuff

[egosOWNshockers]

Yeah, I have the same thing on my gen3 Quest. I was having troubles the whole day on Sunday with it and never got it to work. I finally took the whole thing apart cleaned it out/lubed it and everything (all o-rings were fine). I finally got it to shoot and shot amazing at 295 consistently. I took it home and cleaned it out again then aired it up, I noticed a very tiny leak coming fro the feedneck/eyes/down the barrel/(now that I read this LPR section. My Quest is shooting at 55 psi right now, so I will go turn it up to 80-90 and see when it goes away.
Thanks Physcojosh, you saved me.

[aznpaintball111]

lol now i need to be saved!

My Pleasure, The ONLY quests that should be shooting at 55 are the BONEBREAK mod'ed.. and that was a Quick Fad.. Most People like 99/100 should be shooting in the 100-80 lpr Range, NO more or NO less.

[egosOWNshockers]

Ok, just got back. I put it up to about 95-100 and leaking is gone for the most part. If it is silent and you stick you head up to the gun you can hear the tiniest leak I have ever heard. For the most part doesnt matter. But if I have any issues I'll put on new o-rings and/or bring it in to CPS.

btw-if I brought my Quest to the FEP booth at Bakersfields XPSL on Friday, would they be cool wit teching it and just having it shoot nicer (basically whatevr they need to do to make it shoot its best)? And if they could, could they get it down on the spot or at least have it done by Sat?

^^^^^I still have my blank warrenty card if that matters.

Thanks again.

[Trimmer]

stock or goldmember bolt?

[egosOWNshockers]

me?

stock.

[Physcojosh]

Woud'nt hurt to try...

[aznpaintball111]

how do i take the lpr valve out its like kinda stuck

[LU_aDaK]

its a twist, BUT BE VERY CAREFUL

[aznpaintball111]

how do i be carefull do i just pull it out and twist a little? and what do i use plyers?

[Zeoalex]

i believe the best way to get the valve is to go to the local auto parts store, and get a schrader valve removal tool. And I believe that the valve is a schrader valve which you can also get at the same store. if it is, then you should bring the valve in so you can get the right size.
correct me if I am wrong

[aznpaintball111]

how can i take it out without that tool thing

[Sagg]

heres an easy way screw the lpr into the body then remove the barrel grabbed the lpr and twist using some pressure and it should unscrew

[aznpaintball111]

the lpr VALVE!

[Zeoalex]

if you get the tool, its very straight foward, the end has a large slot where you put the valve in...did that make sense, its kinda hard to explain.

[aznpaintball111]

yes i know what tool y our talking about but is there any other way?

and shoudl i replace this? sorry for the bad pic but you can tell the middle and end is kinda bending

[Zeoalex]

im not sure about the replacing and such, but i dont think it could hurt. also, i guess you could always use needlenose pliers, but there is too much room for error there. huzzah, just remembered, on my old borg, i removed mine with a pair of tweezers, but the valve tool is your best bet

[DoMiNaNt]

someone had a problem similar to this one and it ended up being a very very very small crack in their bolt, check for that!

[aznpaintball111]

hmm that mite b it but i dont really see any cracks or anything and hwo much are gold members?

[MiLLz]

according to the animation, a leak down the barrel can be caused by 2 orings, the front bolt oring, or the front bolt pin oring. you should be able to narrow it down by determining where exactly the leak is coming from.

Stick your finger in to the feedneck and lightly cover the bolt face. If you feel pressure against your finger the leak is coming from through the bolt. if you don't feel any pressure, the leak is coming from around the bolt.

If the leak is coming through the bolt, the problem is the front bolt pin oring. Clean, relube, or replace. dont forget to clean the groove and check the groove for cracks as well

If the leak is coming from around the bolt, the problem is the front bolt oring. Check for damage, Clean, relube, replace.

correct me if i am wrong.

[aznpaintball111]

dotn really need help sent to fep because the noid is leaky
