Sjt657 191 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I have to start by saying I love my stealth but in the last couple of months it has just become crap !! The bottle keeps leaking which is makeing the accuracy rubbish just had a new o ring didn't help so every time I go to use there's no air ? Couldn't bear to part with it but there is no reliability ! Any one else had the same thing the gun is about 2 years old ?? Quote Link to post

Baghdadnights 150 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 It's gonna be leaking from one of three places first is the valve itself fix depends on whether you have a fixed top hat or adjustable Second is around the threads where the valve body screws into the bottle fix is depressurise bottle unscrew valve body wrap ptfe tape round the threads screw back in Third is the burst disc this normally blows completely if you've over filled the bottle but some have partially burst resulting in a very slow leak fix two options send back to gunpower or get drum leupys custom shop to fit a solid blank or new burst disc I've had three stealths first was a mk1 that was shite second which I still have is a mk2 or 2000 model with mk1 adjustable top hat valve which is very consistent as long as the hammer is kept clean The third is a hybrid with a blod valve heavy hammer and spring ( too heavy ) which I was going to convert too .25 but the hammer and spring need changing to get the numbers right might just break it and sell the bits off Atb Kev Quote Link to post

Baghdadnights 150 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Gunpower is a waste of time there fecking useless if it a fixed top hat valve send it to leupys for the o ring mod Do a google search for leupys custom shop all is explained about the probs with the fixed top hat valves hence why I've got a mk1 adjustable valve Atb Kev Quote Link to post
