I recently got my gun timed and after firing it for some time I noticed that the cocking rod had come loose. I then took pliers and only slightly tightened in beyond the point that I could not tighten it with my fingers. After doing this my tank had only a little bit of air left in it. So I screwed in my air tank and my shocktech bomb 3-way started leaking and when I fired the gun it made a weird sound. This is my first time depleting a nitro tank with a shocktech bomb 3-way and is it the norm for it to leak off the last bits of air when there is no air left in the tank or could that little 1/8 turn of the cocking rod screwed up my timing? I suspect this because the cocking rod was not tightened with pliers when brought to the shop to be timed. Do you think the weird sound was being made since there was only a little bit of air left to supply the gun? Hope this isn’t confusing. Thanks in advance.
