I sent my Gk1 back to New England Air because it wouldn’t take air, last Saturday their tech called me and said the valve had jammed, that it was not user error and it sometimes happens, the pistol was now working great. I received it today, it had no air in it, I tried to fill it with air and it wouldn’t fio. I checked my compressor and it’s fine, I use two differnt fill probes, no success. I contacted John at NEA, he said to take the back off and push the cylinder all the way forward, i did that and it still won’t take air. I do not feel any air coming out of the barrel or anywhere else. Has anyone else had this problem?7
Gk1 repaired and still won’t take air.

Think I'd use a soapy water spray bottle to see where air is escaping while compressor tries to fill. Affixing balloon to barrel would work, too. WM

Curious. You may need a quick shot of high-pressure air in order to get everything to catch. I have a Mordax and they require a quick blast of HPA is empty. They are similar.

rcrawford58, on the rear air tank cap there is a small silver plug. Carefully screw down till just touching then back off CCW 1/16 of an inch. Install tank back and try to refill. There is a small checkdisk underneath plug it may be to tite to allow air into tank. But be carefull to far open and it can hot fill. This disk is meant to control the air vloume flo into the tank.

May need a blast of air to seat he valve poppet closed. If air is coming out the barrel that's probably the issue. I have a few guns that I have can't fill from empty from my compressor and need to use my tank.

Balloon over barrel won’t work on this pistol as there are slight gaps in between the magazine, barrel, and receiver.

I’ve tried everything I know to do and been advised to do, guess I’ll just have to send it in for repairs. I sent it in for this very same issue and it came back with the same issue.
