TPX Help

BaconBaller · 10-08-2011, 06:55 PM

So awhile back I was playing with my TPX and all of a sudden the air just leaked out very quickly. I tried a few more 12 grams and the same thing kept on happening I found out it was an o-ring and I ordered a replacement part. I just put the new o-ring on and the same thing kept on happening. Here is O-ring I replaced (crappy zoom, sorry):

o be the problem.
If it helps, I also got the MRT bolt if that might als

Heres the kit I got the o-ring from. Did I possibly put on the wrong size?

Thanks in advance, MCB!

did the leak slow down at all after replacement? if not maybe that isnt your problem.
if it is just slightly leaking now maybe some lube on the o-ring or even grease to swell it?

Iʻm sorry, but by "leak" I mean all the air comes out in less than 15 seconds

12 gram seal?

BaconBaller · 10-12-2011, 11:43 PM

How would i be able to tell if this was damaged and how would i go about replacing it?

idk, when i had mine apart to replace the bolt i didnt pay attention. aperantly its just a small o-ring you probably have it in your parts kit.
i assume it would be in the front of the aluminum cyclinder in the bottom left of the 2nd pic you posted

Is the 12 gram not being pushed into the seal hard enough? The twist on cap should be difficult(not extremely...but ya) to twist on. If it is really easy you may have a poor seal there.

As long as the Puncture seal(item TA20034 in your manual parts list) is still there then it probably is not in that part of the gun. I know I had mine freeze up and fall out one game and needed to get a new one. In your picture it is in the bottow left right above the screw.

Were you able to hear the general location of the leak? Everywhere else I can think of would be a slow leak, not fast.

The cap twist is difficult and it is puncturing just fine. Is the seal supposed to be 100% flush, seated in there nice and flat? Cause mine is poking out a little bit. Iʻll replace it and try a new 12ie.

EDIT: I have no idea how to get the seal off.

At 4 minutes in he takes apart what you need. Needle nose pliers will be needed for sure.
