My b2k is getting poor efficiency. help!

[lucky7]

well i just recently bought the B2k in my sig used. and i played once with it so far and I felt like I was running out of air all the time. so I read up on it and I found that to solve the problem I had to sweet spot the regs. So I went to tank's web site and followed his directions exactly and I still can't get more than 500 shots at most out of a 68 3k......actually I fire 2 completely full evo 2 hoppers and then on the next pod I run out of air. Shouldn't I be getting more than this? I got 800 some shots when I used the same tank on my spyder.

I don't get it. I'v gone through about 5 tanks of air already at 3 bucks a fill and read just about every bushy troubleshooting article I could find and no luck. :pissed:

sold your BKO?

[Cracka_G]

Sounds pretty wacked up to me....have you tried the tank on any other guns to see if it works on them or not???

Try dropping your LPR to 70-75psi

nah the bko was never mine to begin with, it's my dad's :D Well actually I used the bko much more than my dad did anyway so it was kinda mine, but now i have my very own b2k, too bad it keeps giving me problems.

the guy had a dye micro guage on it and it has very few markings to measure the pressure, there is 4 lines between 0 and 250 so it's kinda hard to zero in exactly. I think I had it to high ( a lil' over 200 I think), now it's at about 180 which tank recommends for the upgrades that it has. i'm getting ready to play now so I'll let you guys know how it works when I get back.
if all else fails I'm prolly gonna have to buy an lpr guage so I can adjust the lpr more accurately.

[F.O.D.]

You need to adjust your lpr, like doc said, it could be too high, however efficiency problems occur most of the time when if the lpr is too low, if it's too high you'll get consistancy problems

ok just got back,I set the hpr to 180ish and re-adjusted the lpr and I got a full eggy2 hopper and 4 pods out of my 68/3k fill. I'm happy with that unless you guys think I can get more.

[ayzian]

That should be perfect.

I really think this whole thing was caused by that stupid guage. I'll have to replace it with a larger one.

Before you do, I'd recommend getting a LPR gauge tool. That way, you can dial in precisely whatever cocking pressure you want, and then just leave it there. Then you can set your velocity using the HPR. One advantage the Bushmaster has over the BKO, is that since the LPR is so much larger than the stock BKO LPR, your cocking pressure won't change that much when you change the HPR.
