What to do when the gun are leaking 10bar in 24 hours.
The leakage occurred after a regulator rebuild. Have had no problem with the gun for two years. Then one day suddenly empty and wont take any air, big leakage through the small hole on the block behind the safety lever. I think its the hole that depressurizes the "spring washers volume" in the regulator.
I made a regulator service, replacing all components. But after I have a small leakage of approx. 10 bars in 24 hours. Logical it is still the regulator unless I'm really unlucky and something else has failed at the same time.
Have opened it and re-assemble twice trying to keep it clean = same problem. Pretty sure I have not scratched anything becuse I did not even touch the surfaces.
Have tried GL4 leakage spray but the leakage is to small to detect where it comes from.
When unscrewing the air bottle the regulator hold the air approx 10 minutes before the regulator piston releases and all air blows out.It this normal or should it hold the air longer?
Something I don't like is that many of the orings gets a small small ditch right at the contact surface. Not possible to see with naked eye. But when looking through USB microscope its visible Starting to believe the surfaces are generally to coarse in the regulator cavity
Any suggestions?
