I just got my cousins 98 custom and it is a few years old. The old power tube was cracked so i replaced it. When i tried putting co2 into it for the first time, i noticed a leak. I believe that i isolated this leak to be coming from the valve inside of the power tube. how likely is this? also, should i try and take apart the valve, if so, how do i do it? because i can't see how to open it up. or would it be worth it just to get a brand new valve?

thanks

Did you cock it before you put the c02 in it? Just try cocking it the putting the bottle on. Sometimes the rings wont set properly and let the air come out the end of the barrel. Thats all I could think of. Maybe throw some oil on the rings too.
