Evil Minion 06 / PM6? Problem

xAK47xSAx · 03-16-2012, 01:52 PM

Hey guys,
i recently purchased a used evil minion 06 / pm6. was supposed to be fully functional but we all know how that works out.

Anyways i gassed it up put a few paintballs in it and it isn't firing. Eyes on or off.

When the eyes are "on" and i pull the trigger it sounds like the gun is firing the air but not moving the bolt forward. but it also sounds like not enough air although my tank has 3k psi in it. it does the same thing with the eyes off.

this happens with or without paint:
the light shows red when turned on for a second or two then turns solid green, when eyes are on and pull the trigger the green light starts flashing.
with eyes off its red and when fired it flashes red.

ALSO when i pull the trigger and hear the air shot (with no bolt movement) i can feel a little air come out the left and right eye covers.. only when the trigger is pulled. there are no leaks unless that is considered a leak.

i have never owned any pm per dm nt anything like this and I'm not too familiar with the troubleshooting. only owned poppets and cockers.

Anny help would be appreciated before i take it in to my local shop, I'm hoping its something simple. Thanks guys.

i have already tried replacing the battery, checked connections, cleaned and lubed the bolt, used bright neon yellow paint to try to fire, tried 2 different air tanks.

Turn your HPR completely off, and then slowly increase. make sure if there is an Anti bolt stick mode/option, that its on. Reset all other settings to stock. Dwell and LPR mostly. Dwell around 18-21 and LPR around 3 turns. LPR is the Allen key head below the barrel.

Sounds like massive bolt stick. If above doesnt work, Rebuild the bolt assembly. They may seem fine but they could be swollen.

i need a new bolt spacer... anyone have any idea where to get one?

its the little black spacer that prevents in the inner part of the bolt from going all the way back. anyone have any ideas?

Kinda sounds like your LPR isn't high enough or you have bolt stick. Download a manual for a PM6 if you don't already have one. Your LED should be a solid red when there is no ball in the breech. LED will flash blue if battery is weak. As far as the spacer, are you talking about the bolt tip oring? You should be able to replace that easily. Check dwell as stated above. Make sure oring are ok, lube bolt, not too much where it gunks up, put bolt in, turn LPR clockwise till it is all the way in, then turn counter clockwise 3 turns out, turn on gun with no paint, turn eyes off so that it is blinking red, air up and pull trigger and see if it shoots. You may also have to turn up your HPR if you are not getting enough pressure to the gun. Also make sure your eyes are working properly.

evilpimp is right on, but do the same for the HPR. Assuming you are using the hyper II, turn both the LPR and the HPR in fully, then back out both 3 turns and it should fire with those settings. I would recommend you rebuild your bolt as well, replace all orings and apply some fresh lube, enough to make the orings wet, don't clop it on and use only decent lube. I recommend techt salve or the dye lube (white or pink.) If the lube you have is green, (hater or dye) throw it away.
