Etha Firing Issue

burdabunch · 01-13-2013, 11:06 AM

Our Etha has only been out of the box since Christmas. It has been fired twice playing around in our yard with no issues. It was cleaned and adjusted and put away. We went to our local camp and loaded up and nothing. It would not fire. Got it home and took it apart and cleaned and greased where necessary. We looked on here for help and even changed the poppit spring. All system were a go, bbss recongized ball and were ready to shoot. Again nothing. As soon as we pulled the trigger we got fast flashing purple light. We are stumped. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Is the microswitch/trigger clicking? Just making sure your noid knows to function.

Put a new battery in it.....etha uses alot of juice.. with the cold being a natural enemy of alkiline batteries, don't be surprised if out has just enough juice to power your board ,but not enough to fire the gun

Make sure your oops isn't screwed all the way down .. your strangling your gun without air if you do that, no lube on the bolt bumper or guide, and back out your hpr without gas being feed, proceed to turn your hpr in about 3 turns and gas it up... don't want to gas it up with the hpr all the way out as you can blow your noid, but ive had my hpr in to far where it just won't work ...

Again tho most of the time with eclipse markers ... its the battery, PE needs to make a electric battery less marker :p
