Super Stocker Sprung a Leak

you are an hero · 03-22-2008, 12:25 AM

Well, I was playing today, (with my SS), and I screw in the 3.5 oz into the Vertical Adapter, and turn it on, and all I hear is a dull leak down the barrel. I turn the air off, and cock the gun first, and same thing. Air comes down the barrel. I figure what the hell, and just go out on the field. I go to shoot, and the balls are dropping way short of my target. So I leave the field, and I just cant get it to work. Id image its the leak down the barrel thats causing the low velocity, and since I have no experience of fixing Palmers guns, I figure id ask here.

Anyone know why it would be doing this and the easiest way I could get this fixed.

I believe SS are sheridan based valve design. sounds like a cup seal. when is the last time you oiled the valve assembly?

I believe he's correct it's a cup seal, I had the same problem before I sold mine.

Never...

Would oiling it now fix it, or am I boned?

So is that a yes or no on the fixing...

PMed you

Hopefully that works! Sorry to hear about the leak!

*sigh* still leaking.

Its pretty cold outside, and when the air was on I could actually see liquid CO2 steaming out of the barrel. Could it be a bad fill? Should I try using a 12 Gram instead? The 3.5 did work fine on my Duck though...
