Possible Solenoid problem.

[akathewolf]

Well my gauge is broken on my hpr (and its a brand new planet eclipse gauge...) so I can't tell what that's at, but when i let air thru the hpr the ram won't stay all the way back and there is leaking from the valve (which is a brand new vaporvalve).
But anyway the ram doesn't go back all the way, it just goes back then goes forward a little bit then does that again, it's like it is trying to do minicycles but isnt getting anywhere near hitting the valve (and I'm not even pulling the trigger.).
Anyway, I'm going to sell this to someone who knows what they are doing because it's giving me suicidal thoughts; but knowing what is wrong with it would be a big help. My first thought was the solenoid is busted, but idk.

Turn down the LPR a tiny bit and make sure the valve is correctly installed and if the valve doesnt work well then put the stock back in. Also just try zeroing the regs and keep slowly turning them up until the gun is operational.

sounds like your lpr is set too low...try raising it a bit so the bolt goes all the way back, and then give it another quarter turn

then set your hpr to the desired velocity

Changing the LPR doesn't do anything...

Mabye you over oiled it and the hammer is sticking

sometimes the dwell setting can cause this, it happened on mine with my Chaos board. try changing the dwell setting up or down by 1ms.

I can't change the dwell. ;)

I can't change the dwell. ;)

my bad, I was thinking for some reason that the old 8200 boards had some limited dwell adjustments, guess not.

[akathewolf]

Well, if they did, how would I change it?

[lotus_esprit5]

I was thinking that the rof adjustment included some dwell adjustability via the dip switches but after looking over the manual I realize thats not the case.

Ah ok, well I'm going to try putting back the stock valve and see if that fixes any problems :)
