New Edgun Leshiy and hand pump questions...

Talk to Brian.

What I would do is pump it up and leave it for 24 hrs. Do it at night and check in the morning. Then check at night again to see if it's dropped more. Temp changes on a gun with such a small air tank is alot more than you think.

From 200 to 29 bar if its not leaking, what is it ?

Have you tried changing the edmu gauge? My leshiy had the gen 1 edmu, there is an oring inside the edmu. If the other seals in the tube are good, I.e main tube, fill port, for me it was the gauge. Some people put a balloon on the end of the gauge to see if it is the gauge. Try putting a analog gauge, a high quality wika or Huma and then see if that helps. I feel the rest of the rifle, besides the edmu gauge is very easy to service and re seal, hence, why I recommend putting a simple gauge on and going through the other orings . Also, don’t forget the tank bleed screw , the little grub screw to release tank pressure. I don’t think using a hand pump is causing the pressure drop, I think the leshiy is leaking. Good luck, also, Brian at edgun west is really good at helping out to troubleshoot. 

I own two and have never had pressure drop like that actually none at all, keep us updated

I have chased a couple leaks on my Leshiy over the years. First one was the gauge. The other was a leak because the reg got funky from moisture. I fixed it. Now my gun will leak down from 300b to 250b in less than 24 hours then stay at 250b forever. Its all part of the PCP life.

Out of 9 pcp guns...none leak

Brian is a stand up guy he'll take care of you.

Oh I read wrong! I thought you said it dropped 29bar not dropped to 29bar. Yeah you've got a leak somewhere.

You need to check the gauge. I couldn’t figure out that one until I dunked the butt plate in water. Yes, I was that desperate. My other leak around the reg showed up with a drop of water where the front of the tube threads on. You will find it. If you bought it used know you know why the guy might have sold it. Leaks can be frustrating.

Only leak I’ve had was underneath the analog gauge. You can put a latex glove or balloon over the end of the buttstock with rubber bands and see if it’s leaking from there. Just over the gauge only first and then over the gauge and fill port that way you know which oring, if it is one. It may very well be one of those places. Mine is the analog gauge and the oring under it was hardened and leaking. Fairly hard to get the old one out but once replaced it doesn’t leak at all over any time period. 

Have you specifically checked to see if it is leaking from the fill port?

Yeah I gave up on the rubber glove thing and it was dunk time. I did replace the oring under my gauge first but it still leaked. It was the gauge itself. My gun didn’t have the digital gauge which I think is a known leaker. My analog gauge just had to be replaced. The fill port is usually always the first culprit and most don’t even waste the time of trying to diagnose it. Just replace the tiny oring. Only takes a few minutes.

If you can run over them with an SUV, you can dunk them to look fo leaks Just fix it and are proper care after getting it out of the water.

Check the bleed screw on the air tube. This was an issue I had at one point. I also had a leak at the pressure gauge one time (not the digital one). I pulled it off and put an o-ring in where the gauge goes giving it something to seal up against. Have not had an issue since.

For the rubber glove or balloon I loosened the buttplate just to slide down some and made sure the rubber bands were a tight seal. Obviously it has to be air tight. Could be the actual gauge like said above and that was my next replacement if the oring under it didn’t fix it, but it did. Hope you find it soon.
