two problems, stuck gauge and no air

[sean5313]

just got my 06 cyborg the other day and was trying to dial it in.

1st problem i think i screwed something up, while adjusting the gauge to 200 it got stuck. now it always reads 210.

2nd i got no leaks, but its like i'm not getting enough air. with the barrel off it will only launch a paintball about two feet.

thanks for the help, really want to go out and try my cyborg this weekend.

First, your lpr screw should be just about flush with the lpr body. That should give you around 50-60 psi and should be just fine. Next your hpr should be screwed in so it's about flush with the body then screw it OUT to increase the pressure. Screw it out SLOWLY though as Gladiators are very sensitive and follow your gauge if you can or just screw it out until it cycles.
You may have to replace the gauge if it's stuck but see if that'll work first. If it doesn't work after doing all that I suggest calling PBK and sending it in for service. If you over adjust the hpr you can blow your noid out of the box or destroy your reg seat. It happens more frequently then you think because people back the screw out four or five full turns thinking it's like any other reg... only to realize they jsut sent 400+ psi through their noid and blew it.

Oh, also check to make sure you have your air on as well. :P

Remember that the ball has no opportunity to accelerate if you fire the marker without a barrel (particularly when dealing with low pressures), so what happens with the barrel off can be very different to what will happen with the barrel installed.

Tabris17 you hit the nail on the head. Got it figured out now. And yes I did screw up the gauge, ordered a new one from PBK. Thanks for the help.

Which nail did I hit exactly I wonder? And 06 Borgs are my cup of tea, they're very easy to work with.

just about word for word on what i did wrong. no problem though besides the gauge being stuck. shot up my fold out cloth lawn chair and put two holes through it. it's just a tad strong. as soon as i get the ram i can dial it in proper. the cyborg truly rocks, to bad i can't take it out tomorrow. just going to have to stick with the old a5.
