confusing ion problem...

[baby dave]

training today, and my mates Ion went down during the game but we looked at it after and there was no obvious signs there was anything wrong, it just wernt firing

We put in a new battery to make sure and still was not firing

there was enough air, all the connections were fine and the solenoid was clicking

We then stripped and cleaned/lubed up and the o-rings looked fine.

Put it together and once again nothing

any ideas?

 

[Matt_Breakout]

was the air goin into the reg fine, was the gauge pressurising ok?, was the light flicking when u fired it

 

[baby dave]

Yes, yes and yes

the reg was on fine, and the pressure was 130ish, and the light was flicking as normal

 

[Matt_Breakout]

was there any air sound at all, the banjo that connects to the reg might be loose, if not then its F*CKed, throw away get a new one

 

[baby dave]

yeah iv got a feeling its totally busted....it jsut suddenly cut out, he was firing then nothing happened

and hes jsut told me its connected properly

Will the gun dry fire with the eyes off??
What type battery you using .use Duracell some cheaper batteries only put out 7 volt when it should be 9v and therefore will not operate solenoid properly.make sure you got new duracell.
is your on off all the way on or your bottle screwed on all the way?
If its not your eyes not your battery and not your air then make sure that paint is entering the chamber and not jamming in feed neck.this can cause same sort of prob.
oh and this might sound real stupid but is your reg turned all the way down???? have seen that before,
Hope that helps you dude if not and your anywhere near wolverhampton take it into warped paintball shop and Jim will sort it for you 01902 455455 tell em EVO sent you.

oh one other thing make sure its not the trigger setting not stopping the switch from operating

battery was brand new duracell, bottle was screwed on, reg was turned on properly, wouldnt dry fire atall.

Matt thought it sounded like the one of the board connections isnt working correctly so were going to try a few things this sunday and see if we can cancel out a few more reasons...

Thanks for the help
