[staffs riffraff 1,068]

hi guys i recently got a bargain off a friend on a super 10 brilliant rifle but the valve on the buddy bottle is sticking slightly its ok when it gets filled and put back on to the rifle but when you take it off it doesnt have enough pressure to push the pin out to stop the air leaking any suggestions on how tro fix it guys ?

Hi Riffraff.

 

Just a thought mate, when you need to take the buddy bottle off the rifle to re charge, are you giving it a half turn to loosen it, and then cocking and firing the rifle to lower the pressure before undoing it completely?

You will hear the shot getting weaker and weaker, then its ok to unscrew fully.

 

Could be some dammage, hope not, but heres a link to a new valve should you need it.

Your welcome mate, glad you sorted it

If you run the pressure right down, ie shoot say 100+ shots, there wont be enough pressure in the bottle to keep the valve shut. All of mine do it.

The air doesent hiss out at great pressure, more of a low constant flow.

 

If its doing it when you have just charged the buddy bottle then there is definately a fault with the valve.

With the buddy bottles as in the above post if the pressure drops to -90bar then there is insufficient pressure to keep the valve closed. Once filled you shouldn't have any problems. Just be careful of contamination when it's like that ie stopping the valve fully closing

 

Also what Bill said, give the bottle a 1/2 turn and cock and fire the rifle a few times till the pressure drops before removing the bottle
