    Armotech Zues Rebuild Questions

    Looking to rebuild my pistol for real this time. I have a leaking cup seal/valve issue.
    I faced the cup seal and the valve with some 1500 grit trying to get them to seal, replaced the orings on the valve and the hammer, and greased everything. I have had this thing apart multiple times in the last couple days and I am blowing through my available 12 gram's testing it. Would like to wrap this up before i spend even more money on those.

    my understanding is that this is a reconfigured spyder marker, so a replacement valve should be easy to find but I have only two options- pb sports has a spyder low pressure "turbo valve" that looks like its been milled for air flow but really seems to be an unnecessary expansion chamber lowering efficiency, and a spyder valve from ANS that fits a lot of spyder markers. there's also ebay but that's more than twice the price.
    ANuS also has a cup seal, cup seal guide (cross washer) and the spyder cup seal spring, so ill be starting there, but wanted to know if anyone else has any history working with these or has parts or recommendations.

    So far I have been able to get about ten shots out a co2, and it wasn't recocking without some help most of those. getting the leak solved should help, but does anyone know how many shots I /should/ get? i saw someone way back on reddit that rebuilt one and got around 40 shots off a 12 gram? does that seem accurate?

        Have you checked the o-ring behind the pierce pin cup?,there is one behind it that seals the valve body and the piercing cup,these turn to goo and cause a leak similiar to a bad cup seal. they are not the most efficent marker to begin with but should get 10-15 good shots. however ball to bore isn't great today. marker is .690 bore, best paint i've had as of late, .684-5.

        check with Chaos, his a pistoleer that tinkers and may have a trick or 2 up his sleeve.
        hope this helps,good luck.
