how do you shoot an autococker?

Sorry for such a newb question, but how the heck do you shoot an autococker?

i have one that i got from a friend but as soon as i plug in my tank, the gas sounds like it is running out.

i cocked it back as soon as i turned on the gas and then shot it once and then the gas started to go out again.

i know that everything works because my friend got it timed and everything.

Your tank pressure is too low. My pump does that after I hit around 700psi or something around that....I just let it drain and go get it refilled.

Are u sure you cocked it before you aired it up? Tank Pressure might be low to or it might be the cupseal.

You pull the trigger just like every other gun.

Youll have better luck here

you might want to double check the timing... this has been helpful for a friend of mine http://www.endlesspb.com/tech/timing.html

it sounds like the lpr is too low, and not providing enough pressure to re-cock the gun after being fired.

as far as the leaking down the barrel after being aired up, thats normal. if its not cocked the hammer is resting against the valve.

Make sure you don't short stroke it, you have to make a full pull through the trigger before releasing or else you will not allow it to cycle properly.

technically if its functioning it should cock itself on the first trigger pull

so being that you have to physically cock it, you can already tell right there that its a timing problem/ leak

its nothing wrong with timing because i had someone time it and they said that there is a minor leak in the regulator but thats it.....

he said nothing that would take too much air out.. i think im just too paranoid and the gas was low.

unless you physically cock the gun before airing it up, it will leak down the barrel. or you can air it up, and then pull the trigger and unless theres a MAJOR timing problem it should recock.

same difference.

but this should be asked in the mech cockers section. the cocker sections are the most helpful on this site, trust me. if somethings wrong with your gun, we can get you fixed up in no time.

Your tank pressure is too low.

It should cock itself when you air it up. You dont have to manually cock it..

No, you should cock it manualy before airing it up or it will leak down the barrel because the hammer is resting on the valve, after that it will cock itself during the firing cycle

a pump that cocks itself??? without any help from the pump stroke??? anyway Autocockers will cock themselves, hence the name, but only during the firing cycle...shoot,cock,load. the first shot still has to be cocked by hand before airing or it may leak

I worded that wrong..they dont "cock" themselves per say to be ready to fire, but they wont leak down the barrel.

My ProStock does for a split second, but then seals.

I had this problem once when I decided to try my hand at "sweet spotting". Anyway if it sounds like the air is coming from your BReach (out of your bolt) then it would probably be the same problem I had. I turned the pressure from my inline reg too low. There was not enough force in front of the valve to close it (weird that the spring doesn't have enough umph) so the air would just go around the cap and up through the breach. So just turn that inline reg of yours up some and the pressure will push the valve close.

Autocockers are "finiky" so you'll probably run into alot of similar problems with set-up. It's usually due to insufficient or too much pressure somewhere. If you have the confidence, take it apart with a manual or vid next to you to get a better idea of how everything interacts then you'll be able to figure out problems later on. Since it's mechanical, you probably have all the tools and know-how to do it yourself all the time.

autocockers are not finicky at all. - if you have them set up right.

but that is also a probable cause. try turning the inlie reg up a little.

To the OP - Just because someone told you it was timed correctly doesnt mean it really was, they might be retarded.

to everyone else - Some cockers will cock as you gas-up, and some wont.....not all cockers are built the same. My girlfriend and I have autocockers and she has to manualy cock hers but I dont......Pre-2ks are most likely to have this issue.
