new quest owner, my reg wont budge

[pu pu pump]

okay i just got my quest
its all good
but i wanna put my asa on so i can shoot it

but the hole on the reg for the fitting is directly behind the trigger guard

it wont move either

should i tighten it or loosen it

btw what tool should i use

i tried a wrench with a towel over it
but it still kinda sratched the reg alittle
thatnks

[Chicago Quest]

loosen it w/ a vice grip

[jeffreyjames]

strap wrench. or get some good gloves and try those.

[LU_aDaK]

DO NOT USE VICE GRIPS! They will scratch your shit. Remove the frame so you have better access to the reg. If the reg still wont budge send it to FEP. No sense scratching a new gat.

Recap:
Remove trigger frame from the body - make room
try removing the asa by hand (cheap set of rubber gloves help w/grip)
If that doesnt work call FEP, hell call them today anyhow.

[pu pu pump]

thanks ill take off the frame and try it

[kingpen509]

If your going to go through all the trouble of removing your frame I would just screw in a elbow or a straight fitting or possibly a fill nipple get some vise grips......clamp them on and turn it with that. It would most likely budge!

[pu pu pump]

i can't screw in a fitting because the hole that threads in the fitting in directly behind the trigger guard so there barely any room

ima go take off the frame now

[jeffreyjames]

if you have an oring that will fit over the threads on the reg when you get it off you can use that as a spacer to move where the hole lines up when you tighten it.

[pu pu pump]

its fine i got it
thanks all

Glad you got! Also I was actually saying after the frame was off to screw in a fitting to turn it.

Many ballers have been able to shoot their quests at insanely low pressures such as Cdimic with 35-45.

DONT ATTEMPT this untill your gun is thoroughly broken in. Once u have balled a whole summer with it then try adjustments. There is no reason to rush into tweaking your settings to soon. <<<THIS is what I believe has caused the majority of the shootdown issues and consistancy issues some experience.

A solid 75-100 lpr will treat you just fine. I keep mine at about 80. I get a barely noticable amount of kick but never worry about FSDO. I know my first shot is gonna goggle the backman to worried about shouting to check the snake...

Do I hope i can eventualy drop the lpr.. hell yea, BUT my gun has done it for me. I had it darn near 100 brand new. now im near 75. Hatersauce makes all the difference.


Im not bashing anyone with a 40 lpr, Im just as envious, BUT I have not only seen the problems associated with over zealous tweaking I have expeirenced them. ***look at my avatar. I owned a black gloss and blue gloss. So i switched parts, and tried tweaking it to be insanely low pressure. I had the worst FSDO, horrid consistancy. IT TOOOK ME FOREVER to PATEINTLY fix the problem. Dont make the same mistake.




Ask FEPrich, or BIGpImPeR....OR ANyone at FEP.

You will make their lives 10x easier if you dont mess with perfection. Leave the markers as stock as possible with 80-100 psi. ONCE broken in, and you have learned the gun then slowly tweak it. Drop it 5psi a month or so.

Please please..... we can stop many of these problem threads with patience, learn from my mistakes!

As for my new dust blue quest....well she is awaiting new grips....otherwise she is getting a rest this weekend, then i will continue to baby her and break her in.

Last but not least my max performance tips.

1)NEW BATTERIES, (not dollar store ones) - a new battery can fix a million issues before you create more issues messing with settings, lube amounts, and pressure.

2)Middle urethane oring! ( One of my quests even performed better with middle and front.)

3) HATE HATE HATER SAUCE FTW

4) DOnt overlube the regulators

5) Lube every case, dont bitch just do it....I can lube my gun faster than i can clean my goggles.

6) DOnt Fk with your settings just because you can.

7) AntiBolt stick is your friend it will help your get rif of your FSDO without making you raise ur dwell to high.

8) If your lpr is creeping, check your lpr spring, if its soft, call fep and get a new one.


****OH YEAH, my last tip from another mistake i made with my previous quests, IF RICH or DALE (Fep PRoduction MonKeys) LOCKTIGHTED any part on ur gun, DONT UNDO IT! Red Locktyte should be like a stopsign, red means put your tools away and dont touch unless they tell you to.....which im betting they wont.




Enjoy the Quest, show it off.

Mad Props to FEP.... once again " IM NOT WORTHY! "


Whats their number? 805-487-5297 call it and bug the hell out of Rich.
