Geo 2 with oops, terrible air efficiency??

[mikepetrs]

Bought a Geo 2/2.05 as some would say, off the forums a while ago, shoots a dream, doesn't differ in fps or do anything out of the ordinary.....however, im lucky to get a rotor and 2 and a half pods through it on a 3000k fill before it runs out of air.
i reset the board when i first got it and as i Write this i am literally about to take it apart to clean it, so some quick ideas would be appriciated

thanks, Mike

What size is the bottle?

Hi Mike; are you talking about my old Geo?? My old set up was a High Pressure CP regulator on a 68ci bottle and I would get a full rotor and 4 pots on a 3000psi fill. If you have a smaller tank that might be the reason??

That's what I get from my Geo as well and think is about the average

At the time i was getting a rotor and 2 and a half pods on a 3 and a half fill, i have stripped the gun completely, and changed the inside bolt o-ring,
I just think the combination of the freezing temperatures and that bad o-ring was causing the most of it, i did find a bit of anno wear in the reg, did the efficiency change once you had the anno done?

Nope; the efficiency stayed the same, it was always a rotor and 4 pots on a 3k fill without fail. Are you using a peanut tank or is it a 68??

Yep - when I had a 2.1 it was a rotor and 4 pods MAX on a 68/3000 fill.
