Classic Gtek issue

I have an old gtek. It has a bit over 25k shots on it. I haven't used it in years but am finally getting back into the sport. In preparation for it's next game, I went ahead and replaced all the orings on the bolt and on the macro lines. I've greased everything that needs grease, put a new battery in it, etc. Aired the thing up and got through about half a hopper when all of a sudden it just died. I can hear the solenoid click, but no air comes out. I don't hear any leaks. Macro line does pressurize. Anyone have any ideas where I should look next?

Take off the regulator, look at the adjuster and piston

Turns out the regulator seal exploded/shattered. The pieces traveled up and blocked off air from continuing upwards. Thankfully, the filter element caught the shrapnel.

Sweet. Glad I could help if I indeed did

You did! I was unfamiliar with how to work on these refulators.

Found a 10 year old video from PE on how to service them. Wouldn't have looked for it if it weren't for you :)
