Gold Powertube Help

Hey guys. I gotta JCS Gold Powertube. I installed it, and I have air leaking from the hole where the FVA would be. Does this need to be filled, or did I mess up somewhere along the line? Thanks.

Re: Gold Powertube Help

Oh that sucks. is it like a leak every shot or a constant leak? I never used that powertube so I had no idea.

It's a constant leak from the FVA hole.

Re: Gold Powertube Help

Are you getting it only after you initially aired up or ever after a few shots? In other words, when cocked, do you still have the leak?

Re: Gold Powertube Help

When cocked, after shots, it's just spittin co2. It's not a huge leak, I can't even feel it if I put my finger right over the hole, but I can hear it and know it's going on.

Re: Gold Powertube Help

Might wanna check out your valve. Take it apart, lube it up, reinstall. If that doesn't help, try replacing o-rings in it. If that doesn't help, try a new valve altogether. Sounds like its seating correctly.

Re: Gold Powertube Help

Are you able to cycle the marker? Check orings and that the valve is seated properly.

Re: Gold Powertube Help

The marker cycles fine, there isn't a problem there. It's a very minor leak, not enough to effect anything, except that it's using air that could be better suited for dome shots.

Re: Gold Powertube Help

Pull the powertube out and dis-assemble the valve.

Check the o-rings for damage or wear (replace them if need be).

Oil the o-rings well before re-assembly.

Re-assemble the valve taking extra care to make sure all o-rings are properly seated.

Replace the valve in the powertube, clean and re-assemble the gun and re-test.
