Leaking down the barrel

300z · 12-03-2011, 08:10 PM

Hello,

I was using one of my sheridans today and was having no problems until the gun started leaking hard down the barrel. I also noticed that the sound of the hammer hitting the valve changed from the characteristic sheridan "bonk" to a higher pitched "clink".

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help,

Tyler

I suspect it's the valve spring or cupseal.

What marker is it?

Do you have a valve tool?

I was thinking one of those also but wanted some opinions. I am just planning on ordering a whole whack of parts from PPS including a valve tool. Have been meaning to do it for a while anyways.

Its my viper

. Ive only used it a couple of times (literally). Always wanted one but this thing has to be cursed or possessed.

Thanks for your help,
