EDgun Electronic Gauges, what is or is not normal on a fill?

[ChickenDumpling]

Hi, I have an EDgun Leshiy 2 with the fancy electronic gauge called the MeaZy Gauge. Personally, I like the analog better but its what came with the package. I filled to 288 bar and in just over 7 days has dropped to 228 bar just sitting after a fill. The only times the gauge actually went up a bar or so was when sunlight was shining on the airgun. It keeps dropping bar. Is this a gauge problem or a leaky Leshiy?

sounds more like a leak thing.
I have tried a couple digital gauges.
The Sekhmet I tried 3 of them and all three were not worth the box they came in. Company support was worse than the gauges. They say they are more responsive now but I have never gone back.
I have several Air Marksman on guns and they have never given me an issue. I still prefer the analog and when the digitalis do die, I will go back to analog gaugers. But they will be much higher quality than the cheesey crap the factories give you.

I agree the gun is leaking. My guns pressure will decrease a little, maybe 10 bar, after a fill just from the air cooling off. But if it goes down 100 bar that is a leak. I have one gun with a aftermarket plenum that has a slow leak but it takes about 3 days to loose 10 bar. I've replaced all the O-rings but standard size O-rings will not work on the after market plenum so I've tried other sizes but I don't think I've gotten it right yet. But with a stock gun, it should hold air pressure indefinitely. I like to look an hour or so after a fill and note the pressure and then return to the gun a day later. If it is not the same pressure then it is leaking.

Time for some soapy water and a balloon on the barrel. Good luck, I’ve yet to find the leak on my Jefferson State Raptor, V E R Y. S. L. O. W. But fast enough to annoy. Mine is going back to get the valve adjuster to stop moving, maybe the new o-rings will take care of the leak.

The front drain and back drain screws are most likely leaking . Only way to find out is if you put some soap and water. don’t get water in your valve. Just use a small kids paint brush and see if there are bubbles. Dry it and put some ballistol where you wet especially the screws they will rust

Well, my fellow AN members ... my EDgun can't be leaking. I paid $300 for the experts to fix such

Yes, I agree that its not the gauge ... but I'm not touching anything leak-check related because that was supposed to have been fixed upon receipt or repair order. In the meantime, could someone please pm me some pictures where the "3" bleed screw locations are on the Leshiy 2 so if I do end up having to do the unfinished work that I can. Visual learner here ...

if they Leak don’t snug the crap out of them. note where the wrench sits, loosen then tighten slightly more until it stops leaking. Remember the secret is to loosen first and then tighten
Yours may or may not have the back one. It’s metric

I'll let everyone know how this sorts out. Still hope for a happy ending and maybe can move onto raving on how cool Leshiy 2's are supposed to be. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
