Valve/barrel leak?

burscott · 06-10-2009, 09:43 PM

Hi,

I just sold a Tribal, and when the buyer rec'd it he messaged me saying he has a leak from the valve/down the barrel.

A few days before I packaged it up I dry fired several times, and then let it cycle on full auto a little bit.

The only difference between when I tested it, and shipped it was that I used a Evil Detonator as a front reg instead of the stock Tribal reg.

What could be causing these leaks?!!!?!?!?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Scott

it's a Twister with the 8 dip-switch board

No, that probably isn't causing the problem. Sounds like a cup seal issue or the valve being in cockeyed. A tiny bit of oil on the cupseal should help a lot. Also make sure that he's sure the leak is from the barrel and not the grip frame area. If it's from the grip frame area he may have solenoid issues or at the very least the LPR (whatever you are using) is overpressurizing the solenoid.
