I just got a ss2, it was in absolutely perfect condition aside from it leaking down the barrel. I searched and found a topic saying to put WD-40 in there, knowing that it would eat the o-ring, I put white grease in instead. It is still leaking though, and I don't know what to do next, any suggestions?

Well when my splitfire had a small leak in it I put a little mineral oil down the barrel. Not to much I put a little to much in and I was shooting out a mist for a few shots. You can find mineral in the pharmacy or health and beauty
Long story short all I did is put mineral oil down the barrel and it worked fine. My spltfire had a small leak for the rest of the night. Thinking I failed I went to sleep when I woke up the next morning I pumped it just to see if it got any better and it was and still is working like a dream so I am guessing it will work with a Secret Shot 2.

Hm, I had a SS2, and I had leakage problems off an on for a while.

I simply cycled the pump until it seemed to magically fix itself. I know that doesn't sound like good advice, but due to the way that the tank seal works, it takes some fast pumping to get it working.

You have silicon spray, right? The lube commonly used for plungers?

Well, if you do, theres a somewhat easy fix.

I just did a quick burst (a secound) of it into the airtank, and then pumped it 5 times, or 4, whenever the valve closes.

I let it sit for around 3 hours, and than pulled the trigger. After that, I tested it a few times, and tried again.

Good luck.

I lubed my longshot with silcone spray and it joined the plunger and tube together, I threw all that shit out a long time ago because I don't trust it. I put baby oil in it, but it doesnt seem to work.

I would buy some high quality silicone spray. The one found at wal mart is not high quality at all, and uses a petroleum based propellant. Find one that doesn't, and spray an assload down the pump tube, and pump it into the tank. I have heard of this working.

I thought that Napa's spray would work, but apparently not. I have tried nearly everything in the last few days that I would be willing to put some silicone spray down there.
