Im cleaning and repairing my friends 1st gen 98c and as stated in the title, no air gets to the valve with a tank is connected to the asa. bottom line related or is this the valve, powertube?

Is air getting through the braided air line? If not, the valve pin on your tank might be worn too much to contact the asa fully. That would keep the marker/valve from airing up.

Do you hear the marker airing up? If you don't hear the "fsst" when you screw the tank in, Jrok is right and the pin is too short.

Yes it could either be the ASA pin or the pin on the tank. Try a buddies tank, if it doesnt work then try a new asa with the original tank.

I am thinking its not the tank mainly because HE is working on HIS friends marker which means HE probably has used the tank on HIS marker.
Until he responds though we wont know.

Check if the asa pin is warn

Make sure the tank is fully screwed in (never over tighten)

Check is the air line is clogged (doesnt happen to easy)
Simple take the braided or macro line out and look through it OR shine a flash light through one end.

Its not the asa. Just tried it with my 90ci, air was released so it was something else.
but i just bought a new valve, bottom line, and powertube so no worries, jsut have to solve a little leak

Keep us updated...

i uno what the leak is. everything is brand spanking new
put loctite on the threads when i screwed the bottom line into the powertube and valve. so i unno. its really small though

May be a pin hole in the air line??? Dunk the marker in water (without electronics attached of course) and air it up.. The air will bubble from the leak and that should help solve the problem. You can even do it with the clam shells apart, which might be better considering you replaced the whole valve/pt assembly. Hope it works out.

before airing up put a couple drops into the asa air hole
then cock the gun
and air up
