shot shot Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I believe you need to dry fire it whilst putting air in (unloaded of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobyb525 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 You will probably need a bottle to fill it untill the valve is held down. I had the same problem with my s510 when I let the pressure go to low. Even with my bottle it was hard to mend it B) Borrow a bottle of go to a gunshop if shot shots suggestion doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soreshoulder Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 have you tried filling the gun with it cocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantidgwell Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 gun when cocked should do it , a little bit will leak out when u first start pumping but then the valve will seal when it gets up to about 20 -30 bar , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samw Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 gun when cocked should do it , a little bit will leak out when u first start pumping but then the valve will seal when it gets up to about 20 -30 bar , my s410 was the same till ryan said about it and helped me pump it cause i had a torn muscle in my side at about 20 bar it sealed itself and then pumped right up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl hw80 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 went to the gun shop today to get my s310 diagnosed, and it was caused by not having enough pressure in the gun to hold the exhaust valve shut, so a constant flow of air from a bottle was neaded to get it to seal again! so thanks guys realy appreciate the advice carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killer rabbit (r1000) Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 lack of pressure should be irrelivant if you just cock it (without loading a pellet!) - this should close the valve anyway (it works with all mine when they dump...). try counting how many `working` shots you get from a full tank & you'll have a much better idea thus avoiding the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
