Nerve Drop off

[dynastyofchaos]

Well, to keep it simple, I finally ran into a problem with my nerve that i can't fix. I am getting dropoff after about 4hours of nonstop play. Anyone know what could be the culprit? The tech guy said it was the nerve's bolt. He said i have to regrease it every time the drop off starts because my nerve shoots so fast, anyone hear of somethin like that, it sounds like bs to me but what do i know?

A couple of other possibilities - do these problems coincide with when your battery is low? If so, it probably just means that you are getting a slower solenoid response, so the ram pressure isn't building up as quickly, leading to a softer strike on the valve.

This one is more down to hearsay - I have been told that if oil/grease gets on the hammer's delrin slip ring, this can lead to drag, which could be the cause of your problem. If left in this condition, the slip ring can start to wear down. When the delrin particles mix with the lubricant, they can form a paste, which only makes matters worse. So it may be worth checking your hammer/hammer chamber when these problems occur and see if they need cleaning.

Thanks, I will check it out next time I go to do some maintence on it or before I play next time.(2weeks)
