    Emag gassing up issues

    I've been trying to bring my Emag back up and replaced a ton of o-rings. However upon gassing it up, it still fires non-stop until all the air is out. What should I look for? Thanks.

    Check to make sure you are not missing any orings in valve.

      There's a few possibilities here, definitely pull open a parts diagram and confirm you are not missing any rings. I could see the pressure being too low causing it to sputter and not be compressing the main spring enough to allow for a full reset.

      Take the valve out and see if there's possibly too much bolt friction

        expand on 'replaced a bunch of orings' so we best understand situation.... are you....
        1- rebuilding the entire valve from an AGD kit?
        2- rebuilding the entire valve but not from an AGD kit - using your own orings (what kind)
        3- replacing random orings when you find bad ones

        If #1, replace/use ALL the orings first. If you have a rebuild kit, just use it all and start fresh.
        If #2, what orings are you using? Some parts of mags really need a quality cast urethane ring, BUNA wont cut it.
        If #3... reconsider this approach until you're well versed in mag rebuilds.

        Mags love a full rebuild and will reward you for doing it
        It took me a while to learn and accept this. I wasted a lot of time trying to save a few bucks.

          2nd on change them all. One of my emag valves was being a touch temperamental did a fresh rebuild and it's been 100% ever sense. If it's already apart only takes an extra 5 minutes to do them all.

            I've since swapped out every o-ring with a rebuild kit. However there's still a huge leak upon gassing up. What am I experiencing here? Tank is full and I use a Ninja SHP reg. The emag used to run flawlessly and now I'm at a loss. Thanks.
