Sorry bout the length of this...
I just got some new aftermarket parts for my TL Plus and was having some big problems:
In my attempt to make a low pressure gun [as i posted earlier in here] i bought an Air America Vigilante Reg., an AKA lightning bolt, AKA tornado valve, and a nitro tank.
I put the reg. on and fired the gun with the nitro tank. Everything worked fine at this point. Then i put the low pressure spring into the reg. and the valve and bolt into the gun. I test fired the gun a few times without paint. Again, everything seemed to be working fine.
The problem arose when i tried to fire paint through the gun; it was as though there wasn't enough pressure to send the paint down the barrel and the balls just rolled out the end. I tinkered with the pressure settings on the reg. with no results, all that happened was it started to vent air through what i assume is some kind of overflow check valve [the reg didn't come with a very good manual]:confused:
After realizing that it wasn't working, i took out the low pressure spring in the reg. and it was still doing the same thing. i then took out the AKA valve and put in the stock one. it still didn't work. Now i even had more problems...the bolt wouldn't even cock back, it made a noise like it was firing twice very fast and then stopped [not quite a burp like when it's out of air but something like it] The only thing i didn't try was putting the stock bolt back in.
And that's the whole story....again, sorry about the length of it. Any and all suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
