Hey,
I have a brass modded Splitfire and I love it because of its range and 2 shot capacity however I've got a leakage problem in one or possibly both of the tanks. This slow leak causes all the pressure in the tanks to be drained over a 2 minute period. When I brassed it I also sealed the pressure release valve on the pump handle and when I used to use it, I would pump it 3 times max.

Did I blow it by pumping it too much? After sealing the air release valve, how do you figure the max number of pumps a gun can handle?

Oh and any ideas on what can be done to fix the Splitfire?

If you only pumped it 3 times max with the release valve unplugged, I don't think there's any way you would have blown the valve before you plugged the release valve.

Here's Cx's mod for the splitfire, and he says he uses 10 pumps, and I do with mine as well. You could try pressurizing the gun and then putting it underwater to see where the leak is coming from.
