Can you help?
i just got a Piranha Evo, and i wasnt sure where to post this, but here it is.
It was shooting fine the first 800 shots. After changing the CO2 tank from the 12 oz to the 20 oz, (i ran out of air), it wasnt cocking it back after it shot. I tried my buddy's CO2 tank and same thing. It shots a shot then leaks CO2 out. I have to manually cock it again to stop the leak. We tried switching springs, then it worked for 4 or 5 shots then the same thing again. Shoot, it doesnt blowback to cock and the CO2 leaks. IF you know whats wrong pls reply to thread. Thx

Yeah, it definately sounds like a lubing problem. Just lube up all of the orings and try again, it should work find then, if not, then try replacing the orings...

No problem, just remember...with just about any leak on your gun, before you take it to the shop and have to pay 25 bucks for them to fix it, just replace the oring closest to where the leak is. If that doesn't work, THEN take it to the shop.

i went paintballin today, and it seemed to work fine the first couple rounds, but after getting a refill, it started going back to its own ways... Shoots 1 shot the doesnt cock back and leaks air.(i got a compressed air tank =P) i took it apart and changed the o rings in all the posible places, then oiled/ lubed it up. Still the same thing. I just wanted to post here before i go to the shop ( wednesday becuase they are closed sun, mon.) thx

you should also look to see if the cup seal is damaged because that could be the problem or check the seer and the hammer for wear all of those things can do that to your gun

YEA but his gun is brand new. None or those things should be worn. Oiling should be the only problem for how old it is......
Try keeping your gun only running on eaither co2 or compressed air. The switching back a forth might be apart of the problem but i don't think so. Or somehow one those things Bigwuste listed could be worn.... weird.

Email/call PMI, they should fix it for free. I'm having a problem with a EXT Pro that is the same as yours. I'm starting to wonder about the regs on these guns.. But it's PMI's baby, I'm gonna make them get it working right.
