Ev2 won't hold pressure

[Monty47]

Got the ev2 out to do a bit of plinking took a shot and it lost all its air , I've tried to pressure it up but it won't hold its pressure, the air is leaking from around the spirit level area and from the barrel, can anyone advise or give me a solution

Could it be something simple like cocking it before you try to fill it ?

As above. If it is totally empty then cock the action to take the hammer of the valve. As with no air in the reg the hammer will hold the valve open purely under the tension of the hammer spring , thus dumping the air straight through the system.

As above. You some times need a quick blast of air but unfortunately some bottles have a slow fill valve fitted.

Thanks for the advice I'll have a bash tommorow

I've tried the suggestions but still won't fill, its leaking from the regulator I think, there's a lot of air coming out around the pressure gauge area,

Is the there strip down how to for the ev2 ?

I am not familiar with the ev2 but if it lost all its air "after" taking a shot it would suggest the firing valve isn't seated properly due to ingress of crap or is f****ed??

Do you have any pictures? where is the gauge located?

Edit;

I have just looked at a parts diagram...... It could be from any number of places! Your best off with a full service...
