: Am I to assume you took it apart since yesterday when it WAS working and now it doesn't work?

: Like to install a cup seal?

: That would suggest you didn't reassemble it, right?

: Take it back apart and try again. Using the exploded parts diagram in you manual

: Did you mean you can't recock the bolt manually? or when you fire the marker, it won't automatically recock the gun?

: Air WILL hiss through the valve if you don't have the gun cocked when you gas it up. That is considered normal. The hammer spring is pushing the hammer against the valve and allowing a little air to leak by. Not a problem.

: ALL cupseals are NOT created equal. Some Leak. Especially the NEWER spyders that have a two piece cup seal instead of the ONE piece Teflon cup seal. The two piece uses a Teflon washer insert that goes into the other piece.

: Kingman will replace it if you ask their tech support dept. So should your local retailer if you bought it from them. They can get it replaced too. You can try to take it out and turn it over and put it back in. It has to be clean and lay flat against the valve seat. If it is the least bit angled, it leaks.

I have the older 1 piece teflon, I put everything back together right, and one of the seals is bad enough that I can make it leak by blowing through the ASA...I doubt thats good :/
