[WHOWHAT?]

I am having trouble with my lv1. My issue started when I noticed my marker did not seem to hit the 12 bps. Sounded slow. Reset everything to stock settings ( I just picked it up) and it would not fire. This was caused because the marker trigger defaulted to opto, for some reason when it is set to opto it will not fire. It has to be set in switch mode. I checked the micro switch activation screw to make sure it was not the issue. Checked all settings to make sure they were set to stock, still no luck. Please help.

My SL-94 broke at the barrel threads (barrel got stuck on the grass and I landed on my gun...)
Is there a way to get another sl94 body? Who should I contact? I sent an email to info.usa@planeteclipse.com last week but haven't heard back.

Thanks! I love this gat and would really like to get it back up and running.

Hey Bill, I have an LV1 and I get an air purge/excessive air sound on the first shot. No hot or low velocity just the purge sound? It will do it everytime the gun is shut off and turned back on. any thoughts Ive seen other people on you tube posting the exact issue with there LV1's. thanks for any help

My ego 11 board is broken and was wondering what would be better, an OEM board from PE or a virtue board?

Im having a solenoid issue on my lv1. Where the air vents out underneath the right sfr there is a constant leak. I changed the manifold gasket and solenoid gasket to no avail. I am leanin towards the solenoid is bad but wanted.to know if i should try something.else. thanks in advance.

Hey I have a ego 8 and I was woundering why when the eyes are on its not shootong at 12.5 but when the eyes are off it does shoot at 12.5 and I cleaned the eyes and everything

Bill,

Long time owner of an 08 Ego and have had no problems up until recently. Gun airs up, turns on. The bolt and ram are getting air pressure, but it will not cycle or fire. I have put in fresh batteries, taken it apart, cleaned and lubricated everything (valve, bolt, ram, lpr, hpr). I can hear the solenoid click, but nothing happens. No leaks anywhere. Any ideas? I do have a new solenoid for it, but if its not that, I don't want to replace it.

[scarface478]

I broke the frame of my CSL, how can I replace this? is it under warranty?

[oo Shermin]

I have re lubed every o ring in the gun replaced every o ring in the gun cleaned everything rebuilt the reg. Still cant get the gun to chrono consistently more than 260 and it spiked once to 270 i really need help asap.

What kind of maintenance do I need to do on an Ego7 that haven't been used for a few years?

Change out the battery
Oil the rammer orings
Grease the HPR and LPR orings

It most likely isnt covered. Try contacting gerry.b@planeteclipse.com

- Try a new Energy, Duracell or Energizer battery. The gun needs a good amount of power to run the marker properly. A lessor brand of battery may read fully charged but doesn't have the upkeep to sustain the power needed to run the gun. This is the #1 cause of all issues in an EGO.
- Replace the #11 rammer oring. Even if it looks good. It will be the largest black oring
towards the rear of the rammer (page 55/56 in the manual).
- With in your Inline regulator is a large spring. This spring sits on the piston only one way. If you take the piston out of the reg body you will notice the spring will slide onto the piston easy one way and with alot of friction the other. You want the spring to sit with no friction. Lube the piston oring and re-install (pages 51/52 in the manual) .
- HPR Piston: Check the HPR Piston reg seat. There should be a small plastic like disk that is pressed into the end of the piston shaft. Make sure it is there and not cracked.
- Set your dwell to 14.0
- QEV Diaphragm issue. Inside the QEV block, between the blue body and silver caps, is a rubber diaphragm. This part should be one piece. Make sure it is not ripped or cut (see pages 64/65 in the manual).
- LPR: Be sure the LPR is assembled properly. There are 5 parts inside the LPR Cap. Listing from front to rear - Adjuster screw, adjuster piston (silver cuplike part), gold spring, silver piston and gold spring. The oring on the piston should be lightly greased with Eclipse grease or Sleek.Both springs are the same. Put the adjuster screw flush to one turn out, see if this affects the velocity at all.
- While you have the LPR apart check the LPR piston seat. Looks just like the HPR piston but smaller. Seat is in the same area...
- ASA On/Off knob turned in to far? When you add your air system to the gun you want to turn the knob until you hear the initial gas transfer. Do not turn it more then one complete turn more or you will actually restrict the airflow coming out of your air system.
- Complete oring overhaul, cleaning and lubrication.

Are you using paint and air of are you blocking the breech? If so, then you are faulting the eyes to 10bps.

If using air and paint, make sure the eyes are not pinched or dirty.

LPR could be over pressurizing. Check the piston seat and the orings.

You're asking a PE tech lol
Ofcourse we are going to say stock! Although I personally believe it to be true!

Contact gerry.b@planeteclipse.com

He will send you a new oring for your LPR piston. Its a bit firmer and will not bind.

Odds are very slim they have a replacement but if they do, gerry.b@planeteclipse.com is the only guy to ask.

I bought a Geo 1 and it is not firing. the air goes out in front of my trigger guard up in the corner of my inline regulator whenever i pull the trigger.I checked the red ball that moves back and forth and that seems fine. I have replaced batteries and made sure it is not in training mode. What else should i check before i decide to send it up to Rhode island?

[Bill]

Try changing the bolt orings. You can also make sure the solenoid housing isnt cracked.
