I was playing on saturday and i was setting my regs for the first time after greasing my timmy. I was having a lot of trouble getting the pressure right and chronoing it.

first of all i could barely get my LP reg below 100psi. the adjustment screw on the reg is almost backed up all the way, it is sticking out about 1/4". now it is at about 75psi

the HP reg is set at 300 psi and the screw on that is also backed out pretty far, not nearly as far as the LP though. my input is about 400PSI

my FPS was all over the place and i got a low first ball a lot of the time. my FPS would go from 96 - 276 - 190 - 250 - 189, etc.

BTW i was shooting midnights and they were rolling out of the barrel, could that be leading to the consistency problem? my efficiency was horrible too.

What can i do? If i need to send it in somewhere now would be the time to do it since i am going on vacation for 2 weeks over winter break so i wont be needing it.

Thanks.

maybe your guages are bad dude. Try putting those screws in slightly deeper than flush, and try firing the gun

could i have screwed something up when i was greasing it up? i think i did everything right but i could have messed up :confused:

BTW, when i turn up the input pressure my HP reg pressure goes up, and now i have my input at like 300PSI and i cant get my pressure below 200PSI :(

i am so confused!

yeah, its working good now, back to normal :)

the clinic was pretty lame as far as the clinic was concerned, seeing as at all it really was was bonebrake talking for like 30 minutes about being loyal to your sponsors, 5 minutes about how great bob long is, 5 minutes about how great of a sponsor diablo is going to be next year for local tourneys, and the last 5 minutes explaining a new game which we were supposedly playing but it never really happened, it was supposed to be a basis for televised paintball, seemed like a good concept but it never really happened.

anyways i had a great time on the field, but the balls were rolling out my barrel :(
