tombstone leaking air plz help

[levonskinator]

hi,
my gun is leaking air where the tombstone goes in. Ive tried replacing all of the o rings, and it does nothing, it is a pretty steady leak. please help
thanks

it could be coming from elsewhere, the o-ring in the powertube could be warped and that could cause the leak, also double check where the line connects as well, sometimes it can sound and feel like its coming from the tombstone but its really from the line itself.

it definatley is from the tombstone because i replaced all of the o rings and sprayed soapy water, and it was not bubblign anywhere on the line, it is leaking from where the tombstone meets the powertube.

screw it in tighter. Place loctite on the threads?

Make sure tombstone is not damaged/scratched where it's in contact with powertube o-ring.
I had a slight leak there once but it was fixed by replacing powertube o-ring.

it is very tight and i tefloned it, but i relaced the oring and there are some slight scratches on it, i dont think that is the cause tho, could it be the valve?

i bought a new a5 last year for a buddy , when it arrived it leaked around the tombstone .
tryed everything and still leaked , went and took my tombstone off mine and put onto it, and worked just fine .
the new tombstone had a small warp and didnt seat right

No wrong BAD! Take the Teflon off and lossen it up if you over tighten it the o-ring will not seat properly. Problem solved.

Remeber the threads are not what holds the air back cuz if they did what would be the purpose of the o-rings

At the risk of stating the obvious.......

"washer first, then the O-ring, tombstone holds it all together!"

Just check it again, it's possible you've assembled things in the wrong order or lost something.
