Losing air

[pete123 45]

Just bought a BSA hornet second hand but don't think it's holding it's air as when left over night I come back to it empty! Would this be a big fix or will it just be replacement on the seals how much damage am I looking at????

Usual problem, dirt on the exhaust valve? Can mean a strip down and new valve. Had one that had that happen to it!

It's only my second ever pre charged s400 now the hornet both had leaks but s400 was done on warranty

it might be the gun hasn't been stored with air in it try recharging it a few times a day and it might reseal

Cheers, trouble is I have to get it charged at local shop as no kit myself, my scope just buggered and just spent 70 on a new one now this I'm gutted! It is a slow leak do ill just charge it when I need it for a shoot untill I can afford a strip at the local gun shop but I can imagine that won't be cheap!

Might see how it gets on over the next few fills and keep fingers crossed cheers for the tip much appreciated :-)

Think it may have been that mate, local shop didn't have time to strip it before I wanted to take it out. So I held off as it was a slow leak and didnt want to turn down a chance of a shoot! I did buy myself a second hand pump and as advised I filled it let a bit out did this a few times and it seems to be sealed again so fingers crossed!
