leaking Ego

[fireman]

Okay Guys, Here's my problem. My Ego8 has an air leak in it. I took the handle off cause I could here it inside it and have found that the little blue box that has two air lines going into it is leaking. What is the name off that part and how do I go about fixing it? Any ideas let me know.

Blue thing is the solenoid. Most common issue is over tightening the rear grip screws which pierces the AC hose.
They are held on by barbs and can be a pain to remove.
I would remove the grip so you can see the solenoid and air it up. You should be able to pinpoint which side is leaking.

Hey DBug. I have the grip off, theframe seperated from the marker and the QEV out. It is leaking out of a small hole on the bottom of the block. I guess I need to pull it apart and get a rebuild kit for it.

im pretty sure they made the ego8 'noid not user serviceable....by hole do you mean a hole that is supposed to be there, or a hole that is not supposed to be there? I think you may need to get a new 'noid

yeah, the hole is supposed to be there. I pulled the ends off the solenoid block and one of my diaphragm's in it is blown apart. Ill need a couple of those it looks like. Then the three orings that go in there too.

Fireman, the blue part is the QEV Block.

Replacing the QEV diaphragms will get you sorted out.
