Broken quest...where to send it?

I got a quest on trade over a year ago and I've had a hell of a time getting it to work. I replaced the solenoid wire, bolt tube, got an o-ring kit, and had a local shop work on it. It appeared they got it working, and then as soon i got home and gassed it up...it stopped working. On top of this, the shop went out of business, so I have nowhere local to take it.

Is there a reputable shop/place I can send it to have it fixed?

Thanks in advance!

The board appears to be working, and I can hear the solenoid clicking away. After removing and lubing the tube and pin, replacing ALL o-rings, it will fire once or twice and then seize. It's been a while since i've aired it up, so I can remember if it locks forward or back, but I believe it gets stuck in the forward position. It routinely shears one of the o-rings when this happens too (also...cant remember which one exactly.)

Does that vague info help at all?

You say you've changed o-rings, so this may not be relevant, but then again, if you say that an o-ring was breaking each time, then maybe it is: -

I would also check the inside of the bolt and the inside of the marker for scratches, and check the inside of the o-ring grooves on the bolt for hairline cracks.

Thanks

I'll check those out when I go home and see if I can narrow down what the problem is.

I've heard they are great guns...but unfortunately I've never gotten a chance to use mine.
