PSI Jumping

[Chandler]

Ok this is what is happening...........my psi will go from like 170 to over 200 then back to 170 down to 140 and even lower and sometimes balls roll out my barrel. I havent found my allen wrench to tighten the lock thingy on the reg but i dont think thats it because it not being turned when the changes ocuur anyways. Help. :(

[fear my impulse]

damn co2...but, you do mean crescent wrench right? it's the silver lock screw behind the black cap..yea..if it's co2, it'll spike, but shouldn't bad unless your maxy is screwed over

um, try cleaning and lubing the reg, and the ENTIRE gun, then try it, also, you have CORRECTLY fitted antisyphon? what temperature. Do you have an antisyphon tube, but are running your tank on remote? tell me about your setup

The reg and gun cant be dirty i just got it and hasnt been out for a day of play. But ill try that. And yes i have a Co2 WITH OUT an anti siphon but i know a lot of people who run imps threw the co2 with out big changes. But oh well in January ill be gettin a 45/45 java tank for my baby. And there is a kid down the road that has a anti siphon tank...smart parts one that comes with one and ill be using that sometimes.

This morning i gased it up and shot about 100 rounds threw it and it held stead as a rock. right at 180. Thanks.

Sometimes when i fire is seems like there isnt a ball in the chamber but im shooting pretty slow with a 12 volt revvy. Any ideas ?

[Chandler]

I had a lot of stuff up there lets clean it up a bit. It was doing fine when i was shooting it with a 9 oz...steady as a rock. But i put on the 20 oz and it wold jump like rabbit on crack. Whats going on here ? One more question. When i would be firing slowly with a 12 vt x-board the gun would misfire and shoot with out a ball in the chamber. Any ideas ?:pissed:

Question: If I told you I have a freind that puts one bullet in the chamber of his revolver, spind the chamber, sticks it in his moth and pulls the trigger once every morning, and hes just fine-- would that make it a good way to wake up every morning?

The resion for an anti syphon tank is to keep liquid CO2 out of the reg. when the reg get flooded by liquid CO2, the small o-ring inside the reg piston freezes. this causes the o-ring to get hard and not sel correctly. then this o-ring is not sealing correctly, the reg will get "creaping reg desise".

So running with out a Anti syphon tube most likly has casued your problem-- I guess the gun when off on the first trigger pull for you

Also- a antisyphon set up for a different gun most likly will not line up correctly on your gun-- the anti syphon tube must be set up for the gun its going to be used on.

you need to get the very small o-ring for that piston and replace it- then relube the reg and once you have a anti syphon you will be fine

But how about the misfire sound. What is that for ill be shooting slow and when i fire it makes the exact sound that it does when you dry fire. But i have a 12 vt and im shooting slow.

By the way hows the guy with the revolver. j/k

and do you think my local shop could install it or should i have an air smith.
