leaky rt classic, needs some help

98ssuck · 01-09-2012, 09:32 PM

My rt classic is leaking from the velocity adjustment hole. I have tryed lowering the reg pressure but it hasn't helped. I have tried lubing it but again to no avail. The good news is that I do have a parts kit please help. The leak is not a small little one either it is very large. When I hold the trigger the leak stops.

Check the orings on the valve pin assembly.

Are you referring to your tank reg pressure being lowered?
Automags have a built-in overpressure relief system, and if the velocity is set too high, it will vent out the adjustment hole. I bought a craigslist "closet special" micromag, and it leaked until I turned the velocity down where it ought be. Never changed an o-ring in it.

I replaced the o-ring on the piston but no change. I lowered the presure with the guns regulator, I know that mags love a hp input. I have tried adjusting the reg pressure from a low to as high as it will go and it doesn't stop leaking
