Hi everyone I am having a problem with my Invert Mini. The rubber tip on the bolt doesnt stay on when i put the bolt assembly back into the gun. When I try to fire it the rubber tip gets pushed off causing the gun to not shoot. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please send me a message. Thanks

Make sure you have put the spring back on the bolt correctly. And that none of the coils of the spring have become bend and are snagging the rubber tip. That is most likely the cause. The spring is slightly smaller on one end. the smaller side should snap onto the bolt.

Have you been using that rubber tip for a while now?

[whitewizard7]

Yes i have been using it and I have had no problems with it until now so i'm not sure what to do.

[pballin16]

It is a general wear part just like any o-ring. Do what Biggs said and make sure that your spring clicks when you put it down on the bolt. If that still does not fix the problem, chances are that you just need to put a new tip on it.

K thanks guys I will try to do this.

[pballin16]

No problem at all, just let us know how it works out.

[whitewizard7]

Ok so I replaced the rubber tip now it shoots but it only goes like 20 feet so it has like no velocity...???

[pballin16]

You did check the spring right?

[whitewizard7]

yeah the spring is perfectly fine its not bent or anything.

[pballin16]

First things first, put a fresh new battery in it. Also what are your settings at?

[whitewizard7]

default settings

[pballin16]

Take your pressure to about 190 and then put your dwell at around 25 blinks with your back cap at 3/4 of a turn out. Sometimes if you take your back cap out too far you can not get the required velocity; I'm not sure if anyone has explained why but I know that some of the most qualified mini people in this forum have given that explanation so I am going to listen to that.

[whitewizard7]

yeah im still trying to figure out setting changes im a bit confused how to do it.

[pballin16]

Well the dwell is the only thing that is going to require changing on the board. Here is the link to the Mini manual, it will tell you how to change the dwell setting on your board. Chances are that it is going to be sideways though; All that you need to do is right click on the page and then hit "Rotate Clockwise" and that will get it the right way.

Let me know if you still can not get it.

[whitewizard7]

I did everything you said and it still wont shoot normal...

[gshx]

i took mine off and my mini works perfectly fine without it, shoots lasers and gnomes all day

[pballin16]

That's odd; Try taking out your poppet and cleaning it thoroughly. Also, put in a fresh name brand battery.


I would not suggest taking it off, you're going to make it a lot harder to shoot brittle paint and it's going to give you a higher chance of chopping paint.
