Gun not firing, no leaks, flush lpr

northline76 · 05-04-2008, 08:37 PM

Today I complete dissassemble my Etek. I took the LPR body, FRM ,spring , Rammer assembly out. I have an aftermarket reg, a sidewinder reg. I did not touch the sidewinder reg at all. I put everything back together and made sure that LPR cap was flush. I made sure the bolt pin was lined up in the rammer correctly. I went to go fire and the bolt is deff moving and "shooting", but the paint is simply falling out of the barrel.

What else could be possible wrong. When I put the gun back together what ever I didnt know how to put together I checked the manuel. Its not leaking and I am not getting any hissing. I had enough air that it should have still been firing. Before taking it apart it was shooting perfectly fine and there is a huge diffence in sound. I am running it in semi 1. Can anybody help me? *Edit* Dwell is at 12 btw.

for starters, turn your dwell to 13 or 14, inless you have something like bump pistons, and then try what the guy above me said, the two holes on the bottom of the ram housing need to be pointing down. also make sure the little "qev-like"
fitting arnt clogged.

Did that, heard a hissing when I aired up, Im not sure if it was just the tiny bit of air left in the tank venting out or I have an bad oring. soon as I get an oring kit and air Im gona try airing it up again. Only problem is that valve plug threads are in really bad shape and I dont wana to have to take it out again or the threads may break completely.

I recommend you to send the marker to your nearest Eclipse Service Centre.

Talk to Bill about it. He said theres nothing that can be done about the threads. Told me the hissing could have just been a oring, or tank.

you said previously it is not leaking. Please check the rammer housing as some1 posted it before. If the rammer housing is upside down the marker won't work because the air will be trapped in the body.

Yes, the rammer housing was flipped the wrong way. I put it back in right. After i fully assembled it again I went to air it up and I heard a hissing. Im guessing that its just an oring or the fact that I had almost no air left.
