Palmer Blazer Leaking

robjm88 · 03-12-2009, 09:55 PM

So its been a long time since I have been on here but I have a question in any case. I started fixing all of my guns and such and am on a hold with my old blazer. Im guessing its an oring but I do not know where. I do know it is leaking from this hole on the right side of the gun, towards the front of the gun. It is next to the Blazer name tag and above the asa. There is a part list here, PPS Blazer Diagram
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be appreciative. Thanks.

Did u give the orings a oil bath first?

robjm88 · 03-12-2009, 10:28 PM

I did oil the orings. I Have never actually used this gun in a game. I bought it four years ago without checking it out. I got a good deal on it but never messed with it. I am not sure if I am missing an oring or anything. Just the orings I found I oiled and its still leaking.

Sounds like a switch seal leak.

Before I say this I want it to be clear, I truly love my PPS guns, and all the ones that I have owned and passed on.

That being said.

Spring of '07, I sent my Stroker, (which had been very lightly used, maintained, oiled and fondled for about 5 years, and my Blazer (which I had bought used, played with a ton and yet, maintained very well) to PPS for complete rebuilds. They had been leaking for a while, and I just figured it was time.

I sent them in and got them rebuilt and tuned, all of that.

They came back and worked perfectly.

I used them through that summer, and by the fall BOTH were leaking like a sieve from many different points.

I don't know if it is just me, but the seals seem to cause me nothing but trouble. I oil, I shoot and I clean each regularly, and yet they still fail....bah.

I has to be me, doesn't it?

(Gonna post this in the PPS forum as well....need to vent.)

What type of lube are you using? And yes it def sounds like you have an O-ring broken in you're quick switch.

robjm88 · 03-14-2009, 12:43 PM

"Gold cup lubricant". On the diagram, where is the quick switch located? Which part? I looked and did not see anything under that name.

Sounds like the LPR (Rock) is venting excessive pressure. What do you have your primary regulator set to?

robjm88 · 03-14-2009, 01:40 PM

I am waiting for the stabilizer to get back from Palmer. I am running one of the old cocker regs on it right now. I am not sure what it is at. I also tried running it vertical with the same results as above.

From the Blazer Owner's manual (Blazer owners manual - Paintball Palmer

An air leak (or venting) at the hole near the regulator adjusting screw at the front of the gun, indicates an over-pressured state in the regulator that has caused the "over-pressure" relief valve to activate and vent the system safely. Refer to Pressure Regulator Adjustments section and reduce the regulator's output pressure.
