Tuning maximus wont shoot

I tried to shoot my benjamin maximus today and went to sight in a new scope, and the first shot was a little quieter than normal and the next one was a lot quieter and the 3rd shot didn't even make it 5 ft out the front of the barrel... the gauge reads 1800psi and I left it with air in it for 2-3 weeks without shooting it like I have been for about the last 2 years...so I hooked up to my pump and gave it a few pumps and the pump gauge said it was @1800psi... thinking maybe seals or something? any help would be appreciated

thanks in advance
 
Air tube holding pressurized air as required so look beyond to either the TP o-ring or the o-ring at the bolt probe. Easy test: put a piece of tissue over the breech port after loading a pellet and look for air blasting back out around the probe when you shoot. If tissue shows air leak then replace that o-ring. If no tissue movement then a leak around the transfer port (TP) is likely the culprit.

#25 probe o-ring is what was mentioned.

Check to see nothing obstructing the end of the barrel stick in a wooden dowel up front to see the end of barrel and LDC if applicable are not blocked. Remove LDC.

You can degass it for safety if you want or not as long as you DONT TOUCH #32x3 valve retaining screws.

Remove the stock. You need completely slide the safety out first by setting the safety middle way and use a tiny screwdriver to pry the spring/wire out you see touching the safety to push the safety detent completely out first while prying the spring. Reverse order after stock is back in when done. That wire goes in the notch of the safety to hold it in place.

Could be your hammer and or hammer spring binding or broken.

Remove #27, 28, 29. Don't strip the screws.

Remove barrel band and front sight screws or LDC threaded adapter screws and remove.

Remove upper barrel/breech assembly.

Remove #26 and 27. Remove endcap, hammer spring and hammer.

Remove trigger housing/ stock point retaining mounting screw #22 remove trigger housing assembly.

Check to see everything's OK run a rag through the rear tube wipe down hammer and spring and endcap then reinstall.

Check #23 and 24 if Transfer port may possibly have an obstruction and o-ring may be squashed and needs replacing.

Check #20 and 15 aren't bent.

Ace Hardware can get you going again with their o-ring drawer and even the hammer spring if that's broken or tired. You can try and stretch it out a little if it's tired. You can first remove the last trigger retaining screw and remove trigger housing assembly (must remove it don't damage the sear) and polish the hammer and the tube with a drill and wooden dowel and cut up old t-shirt rags with polishing compound to smoothen it up if you want just don't ruin the valve pin by going too much inside the tube measure max depth first. Degass for sure first if you are going to polish the inside of the tube with a drill-wooden dowel-rag-polishing compound and run clean rag before reassembly.

While you have it apart and DEGASSED remove the trigger assembly just one screw left to remove then off it comes (must remove trigger assembly so you don't damage sear) use a wooden dowel or clean solid broomstick to bang in the valve pin maybe it's stuck from not being used a while and Benjamin's known for corrosion. Ram it in from behind (while keeping your mind out of the gutter) like you are pounding a nail. 

Hopefully it isn't your valve thats broken or gauge block that's corroded (yup they do corrode!) restricting the air flow and it's only the above minor fix.
