hi there, i am new to tm7, but not new to paintball.

basically i was firing in the back garden, and then i heard a loud air leak from the bolt.

So i had a look round and it says reset your noid, so i tried and failed, so i have taken the noid apart

now it is apart, i dont want to put it back together wrong, so could someone please explain how to do it right

i have

main solenoid body
silver spacer
bit in the middle silver one end gold other
endcap

thanks

This video shows you a complete tear down and rebuild of the TM7.

Sudden loss of air out the barrel is almost always just a low battery, not a 'noid problem.

Put the plunger into the noid first, large end down. It's held in a magnetic field so be sure to push it all the way in to be certain it's seated. Next put the spacer in with the small end down...it fits over the plunger and into the recess. Screw the endcap back on. Before remounting the noid to the body, check to be sure all three tiny orings are present and that the check valve is still in the center hole in the body.

I have been wondering the same thing. My local field said that they would order it for me and install it for $14.00 but I'm not sure if I should do it or not.

It's really a matter of personal preference. I have one and like it.
There's really no need to pay someone to install it. You have to open up the gun to maintain it anyways, the trigger is a drop in part, it takes no particular skill.
You will have to adjust the set screws though. Best way is to get them as close to how your single trigger screws are set before you put it in, then tweak it after you close it up.

I highly recommend the double trigger, it's much more sensitive than the stock single trigger. As mentioned, it's very easy to install too.

I have the double on mine as well....much better than stock.

i have now installed double trigger, and it is way better than stock, although no where near as good as any of my other guns, think just the style of spring will never allow a nice trigger

I did a mod on the spring and replaces it with a DM trigger spring. Not you can rip on it in semi.
