bushy 2000 problems

[rgordy]

well I decided to dust off the ole gun and start up again, so I gassed my bushy up, and nothing happend. After tuning the lpr and adjusting the hpr (center flag hyper inline reg) I got the gun to pressurize. However, I took a look at my reg's guage, and the pressure was slowly rising. It rose untill it was at the max. I then tried to shoot, upon pulling the trigger once, the marker fired as normal. however the pressure on the guage dropped suddenly. The guage then proceeded to rise again untill max. I then took about 5 shots, and ran the guage all the way down. The gun depressurized, then slowly repressurized. Im thinking I may need to do something with the reg, but im not sure, any help would be great! thanks

Holy crap thats horrible recharge rate

Take EVERYTHING apart includint the reg and oil it

since its the inline that is recharging slowly, you dont need to look any further downstream than the inline to fix the problem. this narrows the problem down to either the inline or the ASA. first, make sure your tank was screwed in all the way, and make sure the on/off was not:
1)not screwed in enough, restricting airflow.
2)screwed in too far, jamming the pin and again restricting airflow.

oftentimes it is not the reg recharging slowly, but the ASA which is restricting airflow to the reg.

once this is ruled out, then move on to taking apart and cleaning/lubing the reg. lube all the o-rings and seals.

you didnt say what the inline is set at other than that the gauge was maxed. you probably already know this, but make sure the inline is around 250-260psi. anyway try these two things and let us know how it works then.

Bushy regs aren't very quality at all. I had problems with mine, and had to resort to buying a CP reg. I've heard of alot of people having problems with them. My guess is the reg is screwed and you're going to have to buy a new one if lubing it doesn't work.

thanks for all the help, tried it all, and with the help of a tech at a local shop we figured my reg was bad. bought a aim shock and its shootin perfect, thanks for the input!!
