Blown noid?

[acpbguy]

I was adjusting my velocity the other day and all of the sudden my gun wont fire at all, but it still turns off and on. Is it a blown noid?

We need more info man! How high is the pressure in the HPR? Turn up your LPR maby?

[acpbguy]

All right ill see what i can do and get back to you

Your noid is not blown, I highly doubt there is anything wrong with it. The problem is most likely to be something else.

When you pull the trigger, what happens? Do you hear the solenoid click? If so, your problem lies with your regs, just set the inline at 250psi and turn up your LPR. If you dont hear the noid click, first make sure the microswitch is being activated by the trigger when you pull it. If the microswitch is not being hit, adjust the top trigger screw until it it is being hit when the trigger is pulled.

If that doesnt work, change the battery.

If it still doesnt work then check all your wiring connections. The wires might be broken but you may not be able to see it under the heat shrink wrap (the black tubing covering the wire connections). So check carefully.

If you've been storing your battery in the gun tray, the first connection to check should be the on/off switch connections.

So this is how it happened. We were getting his gun ready for our tournament that we had on Sunday, and his velocity was at like 220fps. So we screwed in the adjustment screw on his torpedo reg a couple notches to try and get it to the 270 range, and we start shooting it. He gets one good shot out of it, then it goes to crap. A little bit of air comes out not moving the bolt at all. This goes on for a couple shots, then nothing. We look at the LPR guage, and apparently the adjustment of the HPR raised the LPR, making the guage point down, parrallel to the regulator. This leads me to believe that we sent WAY too much pressure through his noid, which blew it.

Please note that I know nothing about BKOs and assume that it's just like any other stacked tube electro in most aspects. Thanks for your time.

what was the hpr gauge reading at when this happend?

Sounds like you tried to adjust the velocity by adjusting the HPR. Is that what you did?

[Woods Sniper]

Si, that's how you do it with timmies, so I assumed it was the same way with BKOs. Looks I assumed wrong, eh?

So... is the noid blown? Or is it something else?

Edit: And the pressure was really high... past what the guage read. It was pretty much perpendicular to the ground, pointing downwards. It was bad.

Si, that's how you do it with timmies, so I assumed it was the same way with BKOs. Looks I assumed wrong, eh? I see. On timmies the gauge shows the LPR pressure, right? On BKO's the gauge reads the inline pressure, not the LPR pressure. Here's where you were confuzzled, right?

So yeah, for BKO's set the inline around 250psi and keep it there. Then adjust velocity with the LPR. Its probly kind of the opposite of timmies, because the gauges show different things. Anyway this just goes to show, read the manual. Not tryin to bust your balls here, but if you are in doubt as to how to set your velocity, the manual will tell you how. If you dont have a manual, there is one available on www.icdpaintball.com

Try adjusting the inline back down to 250psi. If it does not adjust, take it apart and check all o-rings, make sure they are all seated properly and not damaged.

You assumed right that you... assumed wrong, I guess. :dodgy:

Like Lotus said, the gauge reads the pressure going through the HPR, not the LPR. So you adjust the HPR to around 225-250psi, then guesstimate with the LPR pressure, to adjust the velocity.
