Huh? If you are asking if you teflon it then the answer is no.

SP_Imp_32 · 05-26-2006, 04:41 PM

how deep does it go in then? it can just keep screwing in

untill it gets snug hopfully

but sounds kinda like your stripping it, i did this with my asa gas through screw, it just kept twisting

SP_Imp_32 · 05-27-2006, 12:20 PM

so its probably stripped? should i just teflon tape it?

SP_Imp_32 · 05-27-2006, 12:23 PM

mostly im having solenoid leak issues right now.. its leaking out of the base of the noid

readthisanddye · 05-27-2006, 01:58 PM

when mine was stripping out i used teflon to hold it in untill i got a new body

NO! screw it in until its flush with the underside of the body, thats it, you dont want it putting pressureo n the valve and un-seating it

dude, sounds like the imp is too advanced for u to handle, a lot of your problems seem like user error

is your noid on very well...? maybe its missing that little black pad thing im forgetting the name of lol

SP_Imp_32 · 05-27-2006, 06:04 PM

it is flush with the underside of the damn body.. what the hell... i just asked to see what could be done instead of buying a new body and you have to be a dick... it is not leaking from there.. i dont see you answering on how to fix the leaking solenoid.. maintaining an imp isn't rocket science.. yesterday was just a bad day where all the locktite on my imp gave way.. jesus..

all i was exclamating is that you never just crank on the valve screw until its tight, especially on a delrin valve, ul just destroy it

as for the noid, just take it apart, put it back together and make sure the manifold seal is seated correctly

it just doesnt get tight at all.. goes right through

Slow_Target · 05-29-2006, 07:58 PM

I haven't had mine out in a while, so i'm going by memory. The screw that you are asking about is fairly course thread and difficult to strip without really cranking on it. Are you sure that the valve body isn't upside-down and your going into the exhaust port? Or maybe the valve body isn't in the correct position and it is missing it completely? The valve body has a blind hole, does it continue to go deeper or just keeps turning?

(^_@)Skitzo · 05-29-2006, 08:34 PM

yeah it goes all the way through

Slow_Target · 05-30-2006, 05:23 PM

The valve body has a blind hole (only goes in a short way 1/8-1/4") and an open hole (goes through into the valve). The open hole goes up towards the top of the marker and the blind hole goes down to the locating screw. Are you sure it is in correctly?

first of all what valve do you have?? stock goes all the way threw where an evil or ndz has the "blind hole" we'll call it, either way the set screw should stop flush with the body, if you screw in any farther on a stock valve youll actually screw into the valve pin, hope this helps
