Leaking etek 1 solonoid.

MAD_JIHAD · 09-10-2011, 06:44 AM

Anyone know where I can get one of the gaskets that is on each end of the manifold? (the circle ones with a little square part on one end) One of mine is leaking and I can only find the square 3 hole gasket that goes on the bottom of the manifold.

Maybe I can get one from the manufacture of the solenoid but I don't know who makes them...

Yeah the gasket isn't available online from the searching ive done. They have this gasket but its not the right one.
Planet Eclipse Etek solenoid manifold gasket - etek, etek2 or etek3

I did get a response back from PE:

Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, if the solenoid is leaking from the bleed hole at the end of the solenoid that has the steel plate around it...you will likely need a replacement solenoid.

This type of leak will generally not be able to be repaired because the components inside the coil section have been damaged due to over pressurizing the solenoid at some point. This will normally happen as a result of damage to the LPR piston inside the LPR regulator...OR...because of damage to the O rings around the outside of the LPR body itself.

I DO have replacement solenoids available should you wish to purchase one.

Cost is roughly $160 + shipping for a new solenoid.

When I got this gun it had a broken LPR oring so im assuming that caused the solenoid gasket to break.

I would rather not pay that much just for a solenoid, I am probably going to have to part this gun out if I cant find the gasket anywhere.
