SP-1 Leaking out bottomline ASA please help!

T. Nitty · 02-07-2009, 03:33 PM

Hey i havnt used my SP1 in about 6 months and I put my CO2 on it today and it shot 2 shots but then stopped firing (like when too much co2 is hitting the regulator or whatever). So I took the Co2 off and tried it again. When I put it on it started leaking out the hole at the bottom of the bottomline. (where you screw in your co2). I checked and the O-Ring is prestine and they're no dents on the actual tank..Whats the problem here?

Lube bolt and orings, try a fresh battery, change oring on bottle.

you really think it just sitting there did that to it? I guess I didnt know it was that sensitive

I left mine sitting with the battery attached for a couple of months and it wouldn't fire. I replaced the battery with a new one and it worked great. I suppose it'll slowly drain it.

Well heres the thing, I cant tell if it will fire or not because C02 is still blowing out the whole at the bottomline. I replaced the O-Ring and its not defected at all. Heres the main problem.... I put the co2o i can hear the gun take in air, then it starts blowing out the hole on the bottomline. I take the co2 off and the SP1 has enough air for one shot

Tank o-ring is bad if co2 is blowing out that hole.. Another cause can be if the pin on the bottle is too long..

first thing, put a little lube on the oring and try the tank again. If that doesn't work, replace the oring. Pretty much the only way a tank that worked fine before can leak from the ASA now is if the oring is bad. They do shrink/dry out over time. After that, if your marker still wouldn't fire I'd try a new battery and lowering the input pressure a bit.

Tank O-ring for sure

I'm glad I looked around the forum a little ... may have just found the answer to the same problem I was having as well.

check the asa. maybe there is a crack. i have seen this more than once. if there is a crack, don't use it anymore, it could explode. send it to smartparts or buy another one
