this has happened before when i was dry firing but i have a tapeworm. so i took apart my gun and cleaned the vavle cuz thats wut the manual said. and now its happening again. could it b my vavle again?

that would be the best bet. also when you say you took the valve out was it just the steam or the whole valve assemblly? if it was the whole thing then did you take it out the front or rear of the impy? if it was the front then chances are you cut an oring on the outside of the housing. unless you remove the screw that holds the reg or gas thru on it will cut the orings if you remove the housing from the front. check those as well.

last time i took it apart i didnt take out the whole vavle. this leak is really weird. i just gassed my gun up. and here was no leak. i turned down my reg just in case. i'll check my vavle tomorrow and check the o-ring.

IT just just pulled the center of the valve out, Chances are you nicked the o-ring, It most likley won't leak when you first gas it up, but if it's leaking after a first few shots, then it's most likely that o-ring. Check your Owners manual for the O-ring size and pic it up at Home depot, Or bring your valve stem to a PBall shop and ask them if they can replace this o-ring [pointing at Vlave stem o-ring] for you.

well the o-ring on the vavle looks good. and the leak is gone. so i just went with that. but if it comes back i'll replace the o-ring even if it isnt scratched.
also this is off topic but paintbug i looked at pics of ur imp on ur website. and where did u get those NDz fangs on ur impulse? those r nice.

Yes, if an o-ring is not perfect, 95% of the time it will leak.
