So I will explain how the day went and someone please tell me whats wrong.

Temperature was bout 30 degrees Fahrenheit

Day before the tournament I cleaned and lubed my bolt, shot a hopper though. No problems this day.

Day of the tournament
-shooting +- 3 over the crono
-first game shoots great
-second game getting major FSDO
-third game balls roll out of the barrel and then I start to get a leak out of the bolt
- after this I clean and re lube my bolt
- air up and there is a leak out of my asa
- replace and re lube my asa o-ring
-fourth game gun shoots fine
-fifth game balls rolling out of the barrel again

Dwell is at 13
ABS is at 3ms

this next part may or may not have to do with the above problems

Bought a 68/4500 ninja dura with a pro reg and took all the shims out for my gt. When I filled up the tank and threw it on my GT it did not sound like it usually does when I air it up. It sounded very light like not much air was getting in the gun. When i tried to shoot it balls were rolling out of the barrel so i had to switch to my regular HPA tank which I assume is set at 800 psi.

The lube that came with my Gt is Macdev militia. Its in a little white container with a black lid and the lube is white itself.

Is this a lube problem, a tank problem, or is my gun a lemon?

also if anyone has any advice on the ninja tank itself that would be helpful too.

Thanks

Pm`d you a few questions

[SHOOTNPOO]

I have seen this once or twice before.

How did the marker shoot when you switched tanks? Same issues or better?

[jwwhite1321]

That entire day I was using my 800 psi tank.

[jwwhite1321]

I was more concerned about the gun not shooting, the tank is another issue

[SHOOTNPOO]

Have you test fitted the 3 valve orings middle power tube oring and bolt switch oring?
Also being such a low temp outside it could be that the lube is to thick for the marker.
Would recommend test the orings I have talked about and use a thiner lube such as the new V2 militia lube. Sounds more of a lube or oring issue than a major part failure.

[jwwhite1321]

tank problem has been fixed, now i just need to know why my gun wasn't preforming

[jwwhite1321]

so is what i got with the marker the old stuff? i was reading how it was not very good in the cold, I will try some new lube and hope it works. if not Ill be back, not giving up on this beautiful gun

[FreeStyler15]

maybe your problem is the temp after all

[SHOOTNPOO]

Please keep me up to speed so we can make sure your 100% with problems solved.
Yes the tub is the older lube, the new lube comes in a tube and slicker and wont gum up in cold.

How are the oring I have asked about?

[jwwhite1321]

o rings are good, i had a problem with those when i first got the marker and replaced them all

[FOOL]

jw the stuff u have is the the not so good lube .. junks up easily

[jwwhite1321]

thats what i figured but i wanted to make sure. I have some monkey poo and new Macdev lube on the way so I hope that fixes my problem. I bought the gun used and am pretty sure its a first gen marker when the original lube which the original owner never touched so the oils/silicone has had time to separate and isn't good anymore.

[Trall85]

Throw the new lube on there, and also the GT operates on SLP (although it can operate on HP, but you see what happens). That was the reason your ASA oring blew out.

[blueshifty]

If it's the first gen you may have a failing noid as well.

[xmagman]

The noid in my GT was failing. Sent it in and now Im golden. The issues I was having are very similar to yours. But I wasnt playing in 30 deg temps either.

[jwwhite1321]

What was the problem with the noid? before I got this marker it belonged to a semi pro team in europe and they used them a lot, i figured if there had been a problem with the noid it would have been found by now.

[RonaldCrb]

battery? sometimes the indicators show information that is not even near to accurate

[xmagman]

The gun was not cycling correctly, the battery was draining very quickly, and velocity was all over the place.
Being that your GT belonged to a team in Europe I agree that if the noid were bad it would have been found by now. I agree with the recommendations above...try the simple stuff first. Oring rebuild and different lube. Hope that solves the issues.

[doenertier81]

Sounds alot like noid issues i had

[Phranx]

Same thing happened to me on a cold day. Ended up taking the Macdev lube off and putting on some tri-flow, and switching tanks. Seemed to help.
