Smart Parts SP-1 Leak

SquishyBalls · 03-05-2012, 09:06 PM

So I just got a smart parts SP-1, and love it by the way. Very quiet nd great for the price. But it seems to be leaking. I have taken the bolt apart and checked all the internals except the sullinoid. All the seals seem to be in good condition, and everything in order. I lube it often too. So I dont believe thats the problem. I want to know if anybody else has had this problem and what they did to fix it? I'm planning on first getting a new seal kit from GOG paintball....

On this site we have an individual forum for many markers. Try this in the smart parts SP1 forum, they can probably help more than we can.

Where is it leaking from? I am a SP/GOG tech.

if you can tell us where it is leaking from im sure someone that owned a vibe or ion will be able to pin point the seal that is leaking

It sounds like it's leaking right above where the grip is, but that would seem like the bolt right? I checked that seal.... The air is coming out of the trigger hole, and I lose about 1000psi every 5 minutes....

That could be a bad hose or the o-rings on the banjo bolts or the solenoid. I would dissemble the marker, keeping all your lines hooked up, then air up your marker and check around the board/solenoid area for leaks to help pinpoint the leak better.

Thanks! I'll try that for now.

You were right. It was coming right from the solenoid itself. I'll get that puppy relplaced, and back into the action.
