why would my x-valve be venting out the little hole on the left side of the front half of my valve when I gas it up?
for some reason I cant remember why this happens.

One of the two small orings separated by the split washer on the front of the regulator pin assembly is leaking.
or the reg seat oring could be bad or it is turned up too high
or is dirty.
Wouldn't this just cause venting out the back?Quote:

It just happened to me. I cleaned everything and lubed the hell out of everything then aired it up and dry fired. That took care of it for me.
