Alright, I have a Quest here that is leaking from the inside of the bolt. I have replaced all of the o-rings and it still leeks extremely bad. It will cycle, but leaks all the way through it. If I put my finger on the front of the bolt, I can feel air pushing it back.

I do not know the settings but I know the LPR is set to around 80, and the HPR to velocity, but yet it still leaks. Battery is fresh. Any replies will help.

Thanks

No matter how low I get it, it still leaks.

when you replaced the orings on the bolt guide I can nearly garantee the size you put on the front slot, if not the front and the middle was too small. I did this before and agonized over it. the small ones fit but do not fully seal, hence to leak. Take off the orings, put lube in the grooves, then put a slightly larger oring on and it will mow.

edit: if this is not if check under the middle oring on your bolt for a crack.

Had the same problem man its the hole in the center of the bolt where they drill the center and they thread it and put in a small plug. Blue thread lock the plug in the center and make sure it is screwed in nice and tight that should take care of it. remember let the thread lock dry for 24 hours don't rush it. you should be mowin faces in no time:evilgrin:

That didn't help, this is not my marker, it is my cousins. I took it apart lubed it all up, put it back together, and it started leaking. So I am going to take it to the shop to replace some o-rings some more to see if that works.

I will have to see what I can find when I get there, but the bolt looks clean and brand new.

something similar just happened to me when I got a new stock bolt from FEP two days ago...leaked through the bolt, and I replaced a few orings that were bad, still didn't help, but then realized the battery was dead....so try that just in case. if that's not the problem, sorry. good luck!

The Quest Quency is talking about is mine. We tried for hours to get it to stop leaking with no luck. I just bought a Goldmember this morning and it solved all the problems. Thanks for the help fellas.

must have been a small crack on the stock bolt
