Etek

[Superted]

Right I've stripped my etek cleaned it put it back together switched the eyes off but I can't hear the solenoid working?
Double checked the eyes are off
Double checked the solenoid is 100% plugged into the frame but still nothing
Am I missing something?

Also while I'm at it the detents seem to get destroyed after ever session? Is that normal?
Cheers

[Superted]

Yes put a brand new duracell battery in

have you tried it with air?

your lpr may be set too hight so set it just in from flush with the lpr cap

what bolt are you using?

Haven't aired it up yet will have to try that tomorrow now

It's got he zick mate

Surely without air I could hear the solenoid working it always did before

 

[Superted]

Put my bottle on still nothing
It's as if the solenoid is not reading when the trigger is pulled?

 

[Henry8362]

is it plugged into the board? did you take it apart when you stripped the marker, if so did you do it properly? perhaps the clicking is just very faint?

 

[Superted]

Lol 100% connected to the board
Only took the frame off
So disconnected the solenoid and eyes put it back together connecting them both back 100%

Defiantly no faint clicking

hmmmm, i think you need to put some air in there and see if it shoots then, presuming this is an etek 1 have you over tightening the grip screws? im not sure if it would stop it clicking, but if it worked before you took it apart it must be something that you have done, and is the trigger set up properly? e.g. is the microswitch functioning when you press it?

Thanks for the help mate your a star!!!

Had a quick chat with impulse raider he pointed to the trigger aswel so majorly adjusted it is all fine now
Can't see how it was that as I hadn't touched the trigger set up but hey it works

Thanks again for the help
