Problem filling my gun?

[boosie]

Hi, i just got my first pcp, new gen2 synt marauder (or synrod as you say? :p) from airgundepot today.
I shot one magazine, and then went to fill it up with my 4300psi(300bar) scubatank to about 3000psi,
but when i now open the bleedvalve, all the air from the gun goes out. Am i missing some simple stuff or is it something wrong with my gun? :S

It may just be a simple matter of opening the bleeder as quickly as possible so the pressure de-equalizes and the valve closes. Or you could have a bit of debris in the fill valve of your gun.

Are you opening quickly or slowly? Open quickly to seat the check.
There could be a piece of crud (imagine that) in the check, if so remove the foster and clean the check valve.

Thanks for the fast response guys!
It was just me letting it bleed too slow :p All good when i opened it up quickly!
Stupid me :p


Thanks again guys!

And not "stupid". There are lots of little quirks about these guns. Good on you for coming in and asking for help.
