Why is my spyder electra leaking

A number of different problems may prevent a paintball gun from recocking. Address this issue by first trying to solve the problem with the simplest solution and building up to more complicated ones. The simplest explanation is that the air tank is empty, and the obvious solution is to replace it with a filled tank.

If previous paintballs were broken inside the chamber but were not properly cleaned, then the hammer and bolt may be gummed up and unable to slide correctly. You can fix this by cleaning out the chamber and making sure that all the internals are properly lubricated.

Paintball guns may also fail to recock when there is inadequate pressure on the hammer. You can increase the tension on the hammer. On Spyder-style guns, the adjustment is on the back; on Tippmans, it is on the side. If increasing tension doesn't solve the problem, you may need to replace the gun's hammer spring. Double firing happens when you pull the trigger once, and the gun fires two or more times before recocking. Sometimes this happens when the air tank is low; a newly filled tank will take care of that.

A more serious problem is when the sear or sear spring is worn out. The sear is a part that holds the hammer in place until the trigger is squeezed. Paintballs will roll down the barrel if they are too small for your barrel or if your ball detent is worn out.

If you have a large-diameter barrel and small-diameter paintballs, they may roll down. More commonly, the ball detent is worn out and must be replaced. It can be done by following the instructions unique to the model of your gun. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Not that it couldn't be the bolt o-rings. Like you, I'm just trying to help any way I can. Any update on fixing the problem? Cock the gun before gassing it up. If that doen't fix it, then you have a leak at the cup seal, or the valve body's o-rings need replacing.

I put my money on cocking the gun will fix the leak. Join Date Sep Location ohio Posts Got a spyder. Most likely the cup seal as stated. Be sure to put 3 drops of oil in your ASA before and after you play give it fifty or so shots without the barrel then start playing or put the marker away.

It is ok to do this with CO2 because the oil cant ignite in the presence of CO2. Tank explosion. Not pretty. Especially for the Poor Soul filling the tank which is usually me. Never repair any tank yourself the results could be deadly.
