OK..heres the issue. Etha fires 20-25 times or so, then the bolt stops cycling and it makes a small clicking and air leak puff when trigger is pulled. If you wait 10-15 seconds you can hear a small hiss of escaping air, then it will start to shoot again for another 20-25 times then same issue again.

Bolt is clean and dry, battery is 9.65 volt (energy battery). I have searched this thread for similar issues and all i can find is check battery or bolt...so I know thats not the issue...any thoughts, ideas?

Thanks

Big possibility of it being the poppet spring give that a look and see what it looks like and if it is at all bent or extremely compressed it needs to be replaced.

Thats what i was thinking after i took it all apart...the spring is a little out of whck...just slightly. Will replace and post outcome...thank you.

No problem you should also wipe down the bolt and make sure it is pretty close to dry it doesn't work well with lube on the bolt at all.

I am having the same problem, i have taken it appart and maintained it according to the manual. I have also tried and change the poppet spring and some O-rings, but this only worked for a little while, and than the probelm was back.

If you have a look at your bolt bumper, is it flat on both sides or does one side have some raised ridges on?

Also, check the o-rings on the outside of your Valve Body. Use 20x2's as the three external or-ings to create a better seal.

Please let me know how you get on.

The bumper is flat on both sides.
I changed and lubed the O-rings on the Valve body, but it didnt help.
