MY quest just shoots fine, it will break balls as soon I take the eyes off, but when eyes are on, it just shots ropes.
My gun is a gen3 quest with Goldmember bolt, WAS board, changed pin white washer for an oring, and a Ego reg.
My dwell is 14 and my LPR is running 90~100 psi. I cant get it running at 80 psi, it wont shot, and when I get it shooting something like 805 psi, after 1 minute it wont shoot again till I increase the LPR. If i set it up like it says in the manual, increase LPR till it shots and then ad a quarter of a turn, then it would be 110 psi.
My LPR spring seem to be fine, its quite hard, everithing is clean and lubed with hatersauce V2.
I keep on reading people running their quest under 80 psi, so maybe there is something wrong with my gun.. My gun should be broken in, I bough it second hand and the reg is more than broken in for sure.
The gun its just fine, it shoots OK, its just a bit hard on paint.

question...what do the eyes have to do with anything

second, keep it at 100, and put 10-20 cases thru it and then drop it down

Your dwell shouldn't be higher than 12 from what I've heard. Our guns run between 8-12 but if you have the Lucky board you have the Anti-FSDO option. The only reason you should have a higher dwell is to prevent bolt stick. I'm not going to repost the whole thing over again about the Goldmember as I've already done a lengthy explanation earlier this week, but here's the link.http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?t=2192639&page=2
Also call FEP tommorow and get their input.

I have read that before and tried it, but when I get it ciclyng under 80 psi, after a whyle it wont shot. So there is no point on setting the gun like that, at least mine. I did increased dwell to prevent FSDO and it worked. Before I was running 10 and I had FSDO issues. I have also changed the white washer with an buna oring.
Im not calling FEP cuz I leave in Spain and international calls are damn expensive.
My gun shots fairly well, but im trying to get the gun ciclyng like the rest cuz 100 psi makes the gun kick a lot and quite hard on paint.
PLus this is the only quest in my country, that makes it the refference to quest markers... they think all quests are like mine.

one.........i dont think you are the only quest in spain. your just the only one you know of.
second....... put the bolt/pin washer back on. it comes that way from the factory for a reason. just because it helps some folks doesnt mean its going to help you.
three....100psi cycle pressure is NOT that high. it may be more than most or some have, but its not that bad. especially compared to most other guns. ghost gave a good post about what to do with goldmember bolts just a few posts ago so i suggest you read that too.

what kind of tank are you using? does the tank reg need some work? run the set screw on the lpr in and out a few times to reseat everything. getting it second hand are you sure everything is in proper order? no little "mystery problems"? set EVERYTHING back to stock and see what happens. theres an outside chance that you have a bad board and need to call fep. international call prices be damned.............if you want your gun to work, youll suck up the cost. or use some of the internet calling options available. theyre dirt cheap.

1, man, do you know Spain? here they did know the Quest exist till I got mine...
here just a few guys know what a quest or a legend is... The only know about Egos, Shockers an Angels....
2, If I put the washer back in, I get FSDO, the oring works fine for me, and It doest make any difference with the LPR.
3, I know 100 psi its ok, my gun works fine , but like I sayd before I DID READ THE DAMN POST, and thats the reason I posted this, because Its says that is not recomended to run your goldmember over certaing pressure... Thats why im posting here to decrease my LPR.
About my tanks, I have used many different tanks, thats the first thing I changed, LP and HP, it happens the same with all of them.
THe gun is clean and well lubed, with hatersauce.
And about the board, thats the only thing I havent tried yet, Im waiting a Spitfire board to come, so IŽll try that this weekend.Hope you are right with that, cuz Im just waiting for the lucky board to come just to set my was board on fire....
Thanks for the feedback

i really wasnt trying to be an ass dood. it prolly came across that way tho. i still stick with what i said tho. try everything else before you say its fucked up. and theres still a few ideas in my other post you should try as well. if that doesnt help, DO CALL FEP. it may cost, but they will give you the best answers you could want. and as i said... you can alleviate some of those costs thru other means.

Thanks for your help!
Im saying that my gun is fucked up, I sayd it works fine, but the LPR its just to hight, and makes my gun kick and be hard on paint. IŽve tried everithing sayd in this forum, except for the board, mine to be changed this weekend hopefully.
I hope its just that otherwise I will have to call FEP, something I rather not do...
Well, thanks again for your help, I really apreciate.

spend the time to try and make your new board work. dont just give up if its not right immediately. TRY to work it out.

if that doesnt work...... PLEASE call fep and talk to them. they will give you the best information you could want. wether you want to do it or not, thats the absolute best way to figure shit out that you cant otherwise.

oh.....and if you can wait and arent in a hurry..... ask here about your lucky board. some folks might be able to help you. just remember that you might have to call fep anyway.

it sounds like your reg on either the tank or the ego reg is starving the marker actually...

switch tanks and regs and try again if you can

do you think so? I hope is that, but the gun is quite consistant and it works quite good, but it must be 100 psi, just that.
