It could be s simple Fix....
Do you Know where it is leaking??
Down the barrel....around the Reg or FF...Through the small hole in the Reg?????
This will help KevG in the Diagnosis of your Sick Rapid MKII

Hi Stuart,

To be honest I'm not sure atm but I'm happy do more testing with your questions in mind.

Without further testing atm it leaks when I connect the charged buddy bottle, however the O ring doesnt look like the issue as it isnt damaged?

Cheers

Nothing to Sweat about.... just trying to do a little troubleshooting before KevG show up....
He know I love to stick my nose into Rapid Problems that Him and his Rabid Fox would normally fix!!!
:D :D :D :D

So a little soapy water solution around where things screw in...
Also a marble or ball-bearing place on the barrel crown with a drop of oil...
This will help you see of any air is leaking down the barrel

Good Luck..... KevG should be popping in shortly...
