Yeah, I got all my leaks sealed up and performance is WAY up. By way up I mean it was shooting a max shot of 410 yards, yes I measured. Now with all the leaks and things cleaned and sealed up, it's shooting a massive 412 yard max, again, measured with the same tool, wind (being a barely noticable head wind), and place. :o

That's less than a .5% difference, probably greater than the uncertainty of your measurement. Is this a spray 'n' pray?

Oops, that was supposed to say it WAS shooting a max shot of 310 yards, not 410. About a 100 yard increase in max distance after all the leaks were all sealed. And no, this is a metered MAPP gas combustion.
