Yeah that would be right. This is strange. Charge the system and look at the cyclinder and solenoids themselves. It would be rare to get a bad cyclinder but if there was leaking inside the cyclinder you could have this problem. If you have another cyclinder set it up and re-test. If the problem persist look to your solenoid. The exhaust is the same side as the intake. If you have another solenoid you could then change out and test another. This could even be done with the single for testing. If it works and you don't have problems then you should order a new double solenoid. I'm not sure of all the details but it is a smc product. I would first look at a faulty cyclinder though. You can get another one from bimba if you find this is the problem.

Forgot to say, if it is the cyclinder you should be able to tell by charging the system. If the cyclinder is the problem you would still have a leak from the exhaust. But you think you would have other leaking problems. Also to speed up your cyclinder if you are using the needle valve for the cyclinder inputs, make sure they are all the way open.


Quick question: When the cyclinder is extended and the system is charged and open can you easily push the cyclinder back to retracted?
