BKO problems

[zeacon56]

Just got my BKO and went to play today, but had some problems. First, when i screwed in my tank, it would leak just a little, but i have a small tank so i ran out after 2 games. But when i tried to shoot with my tank, some shots wouldnt go, like...the bolt would move halfway but not shoot the ball. I kind of fixed that by unscrewing the tank a bit but it still happened everyonce in a while, but only 2 times after taht cuz my air was low so i screwed the tank back in all the way. The thing i need help for is the bolt not shooting all the way. My air was full and all, i even tried my friends tank and it still happened. Its very annoying because i couldnt move as much as i normally do cuz my first one or two shots would do anything. But other than those problems, the BKO is awesome lol.:peace:
:edit:
forgot to say where the leak was. Its where you screw in your tank, i think in the plug/screw thing on the side of that thing.

Sounds almost like the dreaded first shot drop off, found in the BKO's bigger brother the B2K! There are several things that can cause this.

You might want to try one of the following or both.

If the bolt isnt moving far enough forward I would think the pressure maybe to low.

Turn your LPR up until you hear a leak come from the rear of the gun. When you hear the leak turn the LPR down a half turn. Cycle the marker 3 or 4 times and listen for a leak. If none is present you are ready to play. If you hear the leak still turn the LPR down another half turn and repeat the above.

Another possible might be the dwell time for your ram. You may want to increase the dwell. I am not sure what the setting are for dwell on the BKO so please refer to your manual and increase the dwell above the current setting. Once you have done this try firing the marker and see how things work.

If either one of these options dont help try both of them together.

Good Luck

Thanks alot, i will go try the lpr thing when i get my tank filled again. But i dont see anything in the manual about dwells.:(

Yea you should try incresing the LPR just a bit. I had a problem like that but I just turned up the LPR JUST A LITTLE and it shot like a dream.

I also heard that the Mighty Max helps get rid of FSDO.

Is that a reg or something?

Its a volumizer that holds twice as much air than the stock.
