righty... no its not broken... (I DONT BRAKE GUNS) haha..

anyway... got it new and its had about 6000 balls through it...
was told that it sounds really loud for an ego and i noticed that i EATS air like nothing on earth...

ive changed the dwell to 10 but

im playing the masters this weekend and wanting optimum efficiency and air consumption... the lpr is VERY VERY slightly out (like half a mm) from flush...

so where should i put the lpr and dwell ? :)

If in doubt, flat out!

Tighten the LPR screw until it has just passed being flush, that might help.

Have you stripped the LPR since you've had it?

P.s. You've not had it that long, where's your manual?



Edit: Damn it Oily, you're quicker at typing than me!
not touched the lpr or hpr with vaseline yet :p

considering the 06 05 and etek work the same way i thought the opinions of people who can get there gun to +/- 2fps might be more helpful than a manual :p

it wont be like that until its broken in, and 6,000 isnt really enough.

from what i read, 1 turn on the LPR, and dwell 11 is about average.

When you say it 'eats' air how many shots do you get on average off an average fill and what size/psi is your fills are. (that just sounds wrong) I do believe the average is roughly 1600 shots off a 1.1 4200 cold fill even brand new from the factory

Clean both the LPR and HPR its nice and simple really just make sure the shims go in the right way. Make sure the rammer is nice and lubed up (basically do a full strip down and clean)

Make sure there are no leaks in the gun at all by listening to it and checking all over. Also try a new battery as many people know guns can always be picky when it comes to batteries

If that dont work I dont have the faintest of ideas
