my friends brand new 2 day old impy won't work

[em1freak]

hello i have some questions to ask. One of myy team mates just got a brand new impy basic stock black one from actionvillage.com and when he hooked his pure energy tank to the max flo it wouln'd shoot it would just spray all the air back out the threads and not let the pressue into the maxflo system he has a maxflo on his tribal but it isn't exactly the same as this one has anyone ever has this prooblem and if so how is it fixed and is there a certain tank you need to use with the maxflo??

[monkeybacon00]

Well I dont know how to fix that, but use punctuation please.

[em1freak]

HEY NOW.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***hat enough???????:)

yeah I had the same problem, make sure you turn the pressure on the max down BEFORE you hook up your air source. then slowly turn the pressure up to 180psi for a stock impy.

i had that same problem! you just need to use the o-ring trick which can be found on the faq page. What is happening is that the pin on the max-flo is too long so it opens the tank too soon so the o-ring can not seat and seal properly.

Well i foudn the same problem with my max flo i found out the max flo is to close to teh grip so that the tank wont go all the way in so air sprays out... i fixed the problem when my shocktech drop came in. now its working like a charm

I thought smart parts fixed it so that the o-ring trick isn't required on the newer imps. Is this wrong?

[RichardL926]

actionvillage probably has the older impulses because the newer ones come with gadget grips and those dont

Yes and no. The Manifold was re-designed to be lighter and not require an extra o-ring to work, however, not all HPA & CO2 tanks are made the same so some tanks might still require an extra o-ring.

were would be the best place to get a impulse?

first call (www.firstcallpaintball.com) has some good prices.

[cris8762]

obviously i MUST say EPBO because i love them soooo very much (not that way you sick weirdos:eyes: ) for getting me my imp....their stock imp isnt as cheap as first call or actionvillage but their CUSTOMER SERVICE is great (IMO) so i think the extra 25 bucks makes up for that

If you buy an on/off valve for your tank, all you gota do is screw in the tank and open the valve slowly. It is easier than attaching your hopper. Definately get an on/off.
