Leaking Rapid

[EddieP]

Hi,

I have a Rapid 7 Mk 1 which I have owned from new, but it is now leaking air and I wondered if you could help me please?

Cheers

Hi Eddie

where is it leaking from?

[EddieP]

Hi Squinty,

I don't know, all I know is that when I last put a full bottle on it was empty within a couple of days. I have replaced the seal on the bottle, so I'm pretty sure that isn't it. It was also shooting a little unpredictably at times before it failed, so I'd really like some expert assistance in getting it back to its best performance. I've had it from new and it has never been serviced so I reckon it must be due one by now?

If your Rapid hasn't been serviced...
I could be as simple as a dried out O-ring..
Or Maybe, if it using the original metal valve-body... it may need replacing with a Acetal (black) one...
But KevG is the right Guy..
He should be answering shortly.. He is busy in his shop...
Repairing sick Rapids... or Fighting with his Rabid Fox!

Good Luck,
Stuart

Brilliant, and thanks for your help. I've read a lot about the legendary KevG, both on this forum and elsewhere, and it would be an honour for him to work on my Rapid, if he agrees.

Yes, it will still have the original metal valve body, so if that can be improved then that would be awesome!
