i have a problem with my pm6. as soon as i put my tank on the air just rushes out of the chamber. i put a full 4500 tank on there and in two or less seconds it was down to 2000. please help me figure this out. thanks

Front (down barrel) or back of the marker? 90% likely just an oring.

mdellis171 · May 31st, 10:35 PM

its coming out of the front

***martix_agent*** · May 31st, 10:36 PM

yeah it's gotta be an o-ring.

mdellis171 · June 1st, 11:15 PM

an o-ring on what? do you think it could be in the reg?

***martix_agent*** · June 2nd, 01:45 AM

the bolt. spool valve makers eat orings liek it's free candy. get used to changing them often

**Trbo323** · June 2nd, 12:06 PM

get a rebuild kit on ebay and replace every o-ring on the bolt they are a few bucks and its always a good idea to have extras around

mdellis171 · June 2nd, 10:00 PM

i checked the bolt and all my o-rings are in good shape

tlmiller · June 2nd, 10:21 PM

Doesn't matter, they might look in good shape, but one or more of them is damaged. You can't usually see the damage, but it's there.

mdellis171 · June 2nd, 11:13 PM

all right ill change them and ill repost if it still messes up. thanks guys

**Trbo323** · June 3rd, 01:10 PM

that happened to me, cost me 2 months and about $200 before i found the problem...but now i got replacement parts for about a decade

mdellis171 · June 13th, 09:35 AM

alright guys or gals. i went and bought a rebuild kit and replaced every o-ring on the bolt, internal and external. the air is still rushing out of the front of the gun. i have a friend that says it might be the noid. do any of you agree?

**Trbo323** · June 13th, 12:02 PM

its a long shot but it could be, if you have no air in the marker can you hear it clicking when you pull the trigger with eyes off?

check your LPR pressure as well, if it is too low the bolt may be stuck forward and therefore venting, when you air it up and look down the feedneck can you see the bolt sticking forward at all?

mdellis171 · June 13th, 02:36 PM

yes i can hear it clicking with the eyes off. so does that mean that the noid is bad?

***martix_agent*** · June 13th, 02:44 PM

no it's supposed to do that.

**Nor*Tex** · June 13th, 02:50 PM

Reset your lpr. Like trbo said, it seems like youve got it way too low.

**Trbo323** · June 13th, 11:54 PM

and make sure the bolt is all the way back when you air it up DO NOT have your finger down the feedneck when you air it up though

mdellis171 · June 14th, 02:01 AM

alright i dont know if i "reset" my lpr but i took it out and cleaned it and changed all the o-rings and the air is still coming out of the chamber

**Trbo323** · June 14th, 02:21 AM

no by "reset" he means to return it to its factory setting (measured in turns out from closed tight) basically take out your hex key you use to adjust it, turn it all the way in (clockwise) and then turn it out......umm well i THINK its like 2.5 turns but i could be wrong, i forgot a while ago what stock setting is, anyone know for sure?

its kind of sounding like you took it apart and when you put it back together you just screwed it all the way in which means your noid is not getting any air, if the noid is not getting any air the air in your dump chamber will be pushing the bolt forward slightly untill it clears the top hat and can rush out the barrel

im still looking for an answer on weather or not you see the bolt sticking forward though, it will tell us a lot

tlmiller · June 14th, 03:46 AM

I wanna say you're right as far as 2.5 turns. But like you, am not absolutely certain.
