Down to zero

[MikeAndrews]

Hey everyone my daystate regal sat in the safe for the last month and for the first time in the roughly 2 years I’ve owned it, it emptied its air reservoir. So I can send it back to AOA or effect the repair myself. I’ve never worked on a pcp. Any opinions as to what might be the cause. And what approach to take?

Cock the gun then fill the gun normally as you always always do then dry fire once.

Remove the stock. Take notice any hissing sound out of the shroud and front filler Ares and manometer underneath the gun.

Use 2 balloons or condoms (clean ones of course) use rubber bands and tie one to the end of the barrel and the other over the male Foster fill over the black metal cylinder. If it's the regulated version over the manometer and quick fill holes where the probe plugs in. Spray soapy water around manometer area notice any bubbles?

If the balloon over the barrel end fills up that's your worst case scenario your valve seat is leaking. All other leaks should be simple to DIY... You could shoot it like normal to see if it fixes itself if there was only dust or debris in the valve seat or a sticky check valve.

Note if still under warranty If you are the original owner you could send it in after calling to verify if it's covered.

i would by all means do what Odoyle suggested and then attempt a repair on your own. getting a gun resealed can be very costly to have done if you are paying the labor. and a $30 seal kit can be litterally pennies to buy the orings yoursef.

good luck. let us know what you find.
