Air leak...

DCB · 01-10-2007, 07:54 AM

I aired up my 04 Viking today and heard some air coming out from around the grips. I shot it 2 days ago and all was well. Any ideas on what the problem is?
Thanks

Try a couple drops of oil in asa before you air it up and cycle it a few times. My excal has done the same thing in the past and my only thoughts is the oring between the noid and the body has gone dry.

Could be the same problem I had: AKA Solenoid blown, tips to fix?

One way to find out is to remove the grip frame, and air up the marker slowly (so you only hear a small leak). Use your fingers or a few drop of oil and feel around the solenoid (or check for little bubbles in the oil) to see if you feel anything. If you do, then it's likely either the solenoid or the o-rings between it and the body. Good luck, let us know what you find out!

Thanks much

Peace
