Good afternoon. I have a Airacuda Max .25. Coming up on one year old. I just realized this past weekend that I am slowly losing air pressure when the gun sits. Can anyone steer me in the right directions on what I need to do to get this back to the way it was? I’m only estimating, but, I feel as though I’m losing about 200 psi every eight hours.
JTS Airacuda losing air pressure
- Thread starter Trueshot
- Start date
I would start looking for leaks using some silicone oil around the fitting areas. I would start with the fill connector and work toward the action until you find the leak.
If you can't find an actual air bubble, you may have to disassemble and physically look for a bad o-ring.
It could be the valve is not sealing properly and needs cleaned.
Good luck.

True,
With full air tube I'd attach small balloon to foster fitting and let sit overnight. If balloon empty in AM, I'd remove shroud and attach balloon to end of barrel, same procedure. I'd bring results to forum; members will be better able to diagnose. WM

I sure hope that’s it that would be easy. I have a very busy week so I will not be able to do any of this until the weekend. Thank you for your input

Motorhead, I just tightened both gauges up I had an eighth of a turn on my regulator and slightly under an eighth of a turn on my pressure gauge.
I will check in the morning thank you

Good luck. My standard started leaking out the barrel on a fill. Until around 1500psi then it stops. Really confused.

There is ALSO a factory Air Bleed off screw ( Small grub screw actually ) on the side of the valve block section.
check to make sure the screw is lightly snugged up as well.

The rifles are cheap and for good reason, I think they are a ton of rifle for the money but I just did a reseal on one for a buddies that was 9 months old. However with a great price tag there has to be "corners cut" , I would expect that if you were to "upgrade" the orings during a reseal as far as quality of manufacturer you would get more llife out of them.

It is a known issue with nearly ALL of the Pre charged guns coming from China .. There O-RINGS are GARBAGE !!! And sadly expect to go inside, learn your new PCP and reseal it with better quality o-rings ( Buna/N 70D ) metric
