Time will tell , I’ve got it back from air fective, put it away in the cabinet on a full fill on Thursday afternoon, went to get it out last night & it’s dropped 30 bar ! So after a quick test it’s sprung a leak on the reg gauge, I nipped it up before heading off out last night, it shot well , filled it up last night when I got in & I there may still well be a small leak , not what I was expecting after paying £207.95 for a service / tune & a few bits replaced, and after been on a so called leak test before being sent back , I will be checking it again in the morning before contacting Liam regarding this matter ! 1 Quote Link to post

Sounds like its still leaking not god news mate ,specily after forking out 200+ notes . Try and keep with it because they are great guns in FAC or sub 12 I had a small leak on the crown + trigger sticking on second stage , phoned Tony up at ASI and told me take it back to your RFD we will pick it up and sort it . Came back a week later all done Quote Link to post

vizlauk 1,568 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 I will be giving him a call when he opens at 10 this morning, it’s definitely leaking , worst about it , it wasn’t leaking when it was sent down for work ! It’s dropped about 15 bar since Friday night ! Quote Link to post

vizlauk 1,568 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Being on the phone to Liam at air festive, who has apologised! He has said it's a main valve leak , even though he fitted a brand new main valve , along with other bits, to tell the truth I've lost all confidence in them, he has said to get it sent back down to him & he will fix it ! And refund the costs involved getting it to him ! I'm thinking , ( why was this not picked up on the leak test ? ) I know it's a slow leak , but I noticed it , I'm going repair it myself, at least I know what it is & I will test it afterwards, really isn't the service I was expecting after being recommend , Quote Link to post

I agree he should have picked up on it leaking, but if he has offered to repair it FOC and pay all postage costs, I can’t see what else he could offer. Has the original power problem been sorted Now ? Quote Link to post
vizlauk 1,568 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Power issue is sorted , I will sort it myself 1 Quote Link to post
