Axe Leak

Had my axe for probably four months now, and this is the first issue. Almost more of an inconvenience.

When I first air up my marker for the day, it leaks from the grip frame a lot. I de-gas it, gas it up again and it works fine. No leak. Sometimes it takes two tries. Any ideas?

Thanks, and be nice, this is my first post.

Have you tried lubing the transfer tube and solenoid o-rings?

I would try a couple of drops of "PAINTBALL APPROVED" oil in the asa (like gold cup) no more then 2 drops. This will help insure a better seal on most of your internal o-rings.

De-gas the gun and take the grips off. Twist the tubes between your fingers to tighten them. I suspect the top tube has come slightly loose. Tighten it up and you should be good. Also tweak the solenoid to make sure it's tight.

Sometimes the tubes get a little loose and that can mean the o-rings don't always seal up.

Also check the screws that tighten your ASA, I had the top tube come loose once due to a wobbly asa.
