tiny tim's advice is a good start. It might be a bit of grit in the valve.

 

If the valve is knackered it'll cost you £6.50 to buy a new one from Blackpool Air Rifles. You can buy them from any Air Arms stockist but Blackpool have a picture on their website. £7 is average.

Scroll down to the snap connector kit and price up the bits you need. You will notice that they do the male parts with two different diameters, 16mm and 17mm. If you get the wrong diameter (i.e it's too big) you won't be able to screw the valve cover back on your rifle. Simply measure across the flats of your existing valve with a spanner.

 

Unscrew the old one from your rife and replace it with new one but for f**ks sake make sure the rifle is empty first! :good:

 

If you're not happy doing the work yourself consult your local gunshop but note the prices as a few of my local shops (I won't name and shame seeing as Internet libel now comes with five figure fine) charge alot of money to the unaware. It's a simple job if that's all it is and is well within the scope of the home gun smith. :good:
