S1v3 problem

~Scene_Ninja~ · 10-01-2006, 03:48 PM

Ok so heres the problem. I installed my S1v3 and today when I aired it up the bolt shot forward and then wouldnt even return or if any at all. I just kept doing these little 1/4 in. movements back and forth. I have no clue whats going on but I need some help. Im using the tophat bolt stop and the s3 if that helps any.

You need to use the new green bolt stop that came with it. I think thats what you are using.

I would lube it up more and make sure the bolt stop is in properly.

Does it leak at all?

its a pain in the *** to get that bolt stop to go into the stage 5 correctly

**Kolder** · 10-01-2006, 03:56 PM

How do you figure?

ProtoxxPaintball · 10-01-2006, 03:57 PM

How do you get your bolt stop in? I have to push mine in with a screwdriver around the back of it for it to seat properly.

Thats the thing Kolder it doesnt leak. At all. It just shoots forward. Im using the Lucky bolt stop btw.

DO all the orings look fine? Is it lubed very well?

~Scene_Ninja~ · 10-01-2006, 04:07 PM

Yep they all look fine. Which way does the top hat go in? I have it with the flat side facing front. (not the small cyclinder-esque side)

Well someone had this problem yesterday at hsp but i think he said that his.. crap i forgot.. something was backwards but gah idk

**Kolder** · 10-01-2006, 04:11 PM

Faces the same way as the picture.

~Scene_Ninja~ · 10-01-2006, 04:13 PM

Nope, I got it on right.

**Kolder** · 10-01-2006, 04:14 PM

when you put the bolt head into the breech, does it seem to have a lot of resitence?

~Scene_Ninja~ · 10-01-2006, 04:17 PM

Yes it does. Quite a noticable diffrence, mostly on the return.

heysueskreesto2 · 10-01-2006, 04:39 PM

so your saying that the bolt doesnt return all the way? just goes back a tiny bit?

another question

is the sound from the gun when you shoot the same as it was before? or quieter?

~Scene_Ninja~ · 10-01-2006, 04:46 PM

I cant tell you if its quiter. Once the gun is aired up the bolt immediatly slams forward and tried to cycle.

~Scene_Ninja~ · 10-01-2006, 05:44 PM

Ok new problem.

Instead of the bolt flying forward and trying to return, the bolt just flies forward and stays there.

maybe a milling problem on the bolt stop? it might be too tight on the bolt but i dont know since i dont own a s1v3

Is it a possible solenoid issue? It might be stuck in the "popped" position (I wouldn't know how, perhaps a piece of dirt or bad board), and because (I assume) you're using a stage 2 (or stage 5) that you wouldn't have any air coming out through the bolt. My suggestion is to make sure your noid is functioning properly, that you haven't crossed the mid and rear banjos (I know this is a ridiculous comment, but who knows), and that you have enough inline pressure to allow the forward air-chamber to push your bolt back.
