sounds like maybe a oring is bad. Where exactly is it leaking? That will help to find out the problem.

best i can tell it is leaking where the qd nipple screws into the asa adapter. i can see this from soaping the fittings after i installed it. and i tightened the crap out of it. should i be using the teflon or not?

yes, use teflon tape or loc-tite (blue) on the nipple threads...

Use teflon tape as stated above, make sure your threads are clean, and make sure that you are not cross threading the adapter. Wraping the teflon in the same direction as the threads also helps.

it should seal without the tape also. perhaps your are using to much tape and that stops it from going all in? Do you have a picture?

To much tape, not enough tape, bad o-ring......does the marker air up correctly w/o your QD connected? ..... try to narrow down the problem area

i have the same problem with my remote coil the other day
the small pc on the inside has an orign and if its leaking then you need to replace it

i think i found the problem, the asa adapter didn't match the threads on the nipple, so it cross threaded. ill have to wait until i can get to a buddy's house and he has a tap and die set, that'll fix it..... i hope.

on a side note, does anyone know what store would carry a decent tap and die set for this size? and a ballpark price.

thanks
