SS300 - Help....

[SilentJ]

yeah... I own one of these bad boys


and I was wondering if anyone could help me out... mine's in good condition... I looked online and some guy is naive and believes he has the only one from 93 that's still in working order today... that's not true... i have one in better condition then his taped up piece of crap... anyway... I was wondering if any of you would know how to fix this... I pump it up 15 times like it says to then open the valve to let water from the backpack tank fill in and pump it some more and it sprays just fine but after the initial pumping I get a hiss from the front airtank mounted on the gun... if i push down on it it stays pressurized but I surely cant hold it down all the time... could I put anything around the base of that one airtank to seal it up? or is it just an O ring inside the gun that needs replaced?? theres a million and one tiny screws on it but if it's just an O Ring that needs replaced I'll take it apart... if anyone knows send me an e-mail at silentj@quadcityjuggalos.com because I probably won't check back on this forum... I just need help fixing it... thanks in advance to whoever replies.

oh also... the caps at the top of the backpack water tank are nowhere to be found... i've tried various things... the closest fit I can find is a heinz ketchup bottle cap... if anyone knows something thats a better fit let me know

If there is a competition for having the best preserved SS300, where do I sign up, since one of mine is still New In Box?

Caps are hard to get. I would measure the filling holes and compare them to the bottles and jars at your local convinent store.
Anothper option of course would be a tank mod after my third SS300 came without backpack:
SS300 Z - Tank mod

that's the shit... keep the one you got in a box preserved.. they were released in 93 and no longer made that'll be worth hella loot someday... the one I found in doing a google search the guy doesn't even have the original stickers on it... he took a sharpie and wrote some shit all over it and its got duct tape holdin some pieces together... when I saw that I was like wow... I got one and it's in way better condition then that...
