Ego 6 need help, grease used on rammer!

Strange problem with an ego 6, when aired up the ram slowly moves forward then it starts to leak.

I remove the rammer and there's a ton of blue grease on it. I'm trying to figure out what makes the ram stay forward? Stuck solenoid clogged up by grease? (I know were only suppose to use oil on the rammer and this is a friends marker who thought it was ok to put grease on the rammer

I scolded him!)

Any PE experts out there who can point me in the right direction and where to start?

There is a very good chance that grease got sucked into the rammer, I would start by cleaning out the noid if you can, if not get it to a PE tech center and have them look at it.

Clean down the ram, inside the ram tube, and the solenoid, for starters. Also clean the QEV's.

And make sure the air lines are routed properly when you reassemble it. Even with grease on the rammer it shouldn't be creeping forward. That is a symptom of the air lines being reversed.
