I Noticed that when i leave the gun sitting for a day or 2 the air pressure drops. it is losing it somewhere any ideas on how to look for it?????????? i heard there is a built in relief valve. i really do not want to ship it out to AOA. yes it is still under warranty or am i going to have to rebuild the pump?????????? Need some ideas on this 1. Are there any drawing for these pumps somewhere. MAHALO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The seals on the bottom side of the action (including the the foster nipple) are a weak point. These are metal washers with rubber rings inside them. Chances are that's where it leaks. I've had to replace mine 2 times in 3 years. 

Just pump it up to 225 bar and put some dish washing soap around there. If it bubbubles, that's where it leaks.

jonnes is correct. The inlet check valve seal is the most likely culprit and very easy to test and fix.

How do i fix it?????????? and with what???????? I am still learning this thing.

First thing would be to use some soapy water to find the leak,look for bubbles.
The brass piece under the action is the opv. Over pressure valve FYI..kelly

 

[Jonnes]

Fix it by taking it apart and replace the washers that leak with identical ones. It ain't rocket science. Don't over tighten the parts.

how much is it leaking? how many bars? if u let it for another 2 days it keeps going down? 

 

[POWERSHIFT93]

Well i put soapy water around it and it was bubbling. right where every body said it would. i pumped it up to 220bar let it sit overnight and it went down 5 bars. noticed what looked like a o ring that is not seated right in there from looking at it. where do i procure these washers and o rings you speak of???????? will i have to go through AOA. for these parts. and how do i get the pump off of there??????????? will i have to drain it all down????????????? also i was wondering if you could put a regulator in those or not. just tossing that 1 out there. 

 

[POWERSHIFT93]

Is there a you tube video on how to do this????????????? or any special tools that i may need?????????????????

Another question with the power wheel on 3 and the brass knob turned all the way up. and it fully charged how many bars or psi does it use in each shot????????

 

[ericgs]

here is the rebuild video from aoa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PBRfbEQfiA it is for the indy but is basically the same

 

[ericgs]

if the leak is in the fill valve this may also help, not in the same location but you can see how it works: https://youtu.be/e90ANc8qb0k?t=2m44s
