Next unscrew the bolt guide from the valve assembly
(SEE FIGURE 17I). Clean the bolt guide, removing
any old grease, debris or paint from the front, narrow
stem section
(SEE FIGURE 17J) and the exhaust
port inside the bolt guide
(SEE FIGURE 17K). Clean
and inspect the rear bolt bumper
(SEE FIGURE
17L)
for damage or excessive wear, replace as
necessary.
The valve itself contains four components, the valve
body, the firing poppet, the poppet insert and the valve
joiner.
Start by unscrewing the valve joiner from the valve
body, gripping the flats on the side of the threads
(SEE FIGURE 17M). When unscrewed, slide the
valve joiner and firing poppet out of the valve body
(SEE FIGURE 17N). Remove the poppet insert,
clean and inspect the o-ring near the tip of the
poppet insert, if the o-ring is damaged then replace.
Lubricate the o-ring with a small amount of grease
then place the insert to one side. With the valve joiner
and firing poppet removed from the valve body, push
the firing poppet out the back of the valve joiner
(SEE
FIGURE 17O)
.
Take the firing poppet and clean and inspect the metal
shaft and o-rings with a cotton bud or soft cloth,
removing any old grease or debris
(SEE FIGURE
17P)
. Replace any damaged components on the firing
poppet.
