sticky solenoid

[zacharyaus]

this is probably a more davanced question so it is meant for like:
Vern, twitcho or shaydee or anyone who knows what the #$!&^ i'm taking about

my regs WE'RE fine until some guy at the indoor field messed them up

oh well, when i shoot my gun at 280fps it makes a vibrating sorta buzzing feeling.

i tried setting the dwell to 12 as recommended by arnold(he plays for bob long's ironmen), i fixed up my regs now but i still have to test it out with paint.

oh ya! when i set the fps to 300 the problem goes away(just mentioning it)

has anyone else ran into a sticky solenoid before? and if so what did you do?

mine did that too and i discovered it was the guages on my regs that were causing the problems. i had achcroft guages at the time as well. shoot it and see it the needle moves like crazy for a second or 2 after you shoot.

Been there before. When I had that happen to me, it was the hammer that was causing it. Turns out it wasn't lubed well enough and the o-rings were causing serious drag against the inside walls of the marker. This in turn made it vibrate and sorta squeek a bit from the internals. Try relubing your hammer and see if that's your problem. You can also check your guages for what James mentioned

nah, i lube my hammer pretty well.

but yes me hp guage does wiggle wildly for about 1 or so seconds after i shoot

i'm pretty sure it's my guages, i will get a lp guage now, and set the lp to 85psi, if that doesn't work i will post again.

thanks for the help so far(and the fast response)
