: : : Did you remove the valve body? : : : You might have reversed it. Easy to do and it will leak like crazy. : : No, it went in normally. : It will go in normally, but it just might be in backwards and the hiss like crazy and will do exactly what you are describing. Including the absence of recocking pneumatically. : I've done it several times myself. : Just turn the valve over and give it a try. The narrowest rim goes to the front of the gun. : : : Inspect the valve that the cup seal seats against. : ALWAYS INSTALL AND REMOVE USING A WOOD DOWEL ROD. : ANYTHING METAL WILL DING THE VALVE SEAT. : : : Is there any nicks or dings in the edge that seals against the cup seal? : : I just pulled the damned thing apart again, and there are a few TINY scratches on the sealing edge...so what? do I need a new valve now? : : You might need a new valve but don't run to the store yet..... : IF YOU WIND UP HAVING TO buy a valve, YOU CAN TRY TO USE SOME 600 + GRIT FINNISHING WET SANDPAPER OR CROCUS CLOTH ON A VERY FLAT SURFACE AND REFINNISH THE OLD VALVE SEAL EDGE BY SANDING IT DOWN A BIT. : I am zero for two tries myself. If you get it the slightest bit crooked, it leaks. I would suggest instead of sanding back and forth, to rotate it while holding it flat and square against the flat surface. : Might as well buy a LP valve if you have to replace it. Not that much more. You can pick up a reg later. It will work with High Pressure until you can get a LP reg. : I also know a short cut for a reg. About $20-30 for a reg. If pretty isn't important to you. Send me a E mail to ddupont@charter.net : : : : Tell me about recocking again. Won't recock manually, or pneumatically when you fire it? : : It wont recock pneumatically. Its like my tank is emptying, but it was just filled. : Even with a few scratches on the valve seat, it should recock pneumatically. : Assuming it is NOT the valve, Inspect and / or replace the hammer O ring. You need to carry a spare anyway. : You haven't gone LP or lowered the reg on your Studder right?
