any cocker whizzes??

[Dusty]

Having problems with my Karni, she isn't well bless her.

Basically doesn't seem to be cycling properly. Smashes paint like nothing i have seen. I don't think there is anything mechanically wrong or broken, i think it just needs setting up properly.

Basically worked fine when i got it, then next time i pulled it out of the bag it was seriously ill.

Any thoughts, or even better anyone willing to take a look for a few beer tokens?

cheers

I know Robof9 on here is a cocker tech, might be worth sending him a quick pm.

Hiya Dusty

Im not big on the Karni's but a cocker is a cocker pretty much.

Whats your battery like?
put her in classic mode...when the gun cocks (hold trigger) does the bolt open the breech fully?
Whats your paint to barrel like?

 

[Dusty]

Cheers boys,

Scars, paint to barrel was fine, battery was brand new and double checked the readout on two markers for the power level. Will try the classic mode thing later.

It is my brothers marker, which I bought from the states and like i say it came and worked just perfect.

just double check that it is feeding correctly, might be an idea to make sure the detent is in good working order as well. if a bit of debri gets in those ball/spring detents it can stop it moving back which will easily break a ball.

 

[Dusty]

as far as i can tell it isn't cocking properly. when you pull the back block back it doesn't remain there as it did before. Detent is fine, just whipped it out there (the detent you smart arses) and had a good old check.

any thoughts?

 

[Scars]

if its not staying back then i would put money on it being the sear, whip the frame off and see if its worn. Does the Karnis still have a cocking lug? if so turn it half a turn down and see if that helps

which will be your timing, or if the bolt is sitting far into the breach. take out the bolt and give the back block a rotate ! move it out along thread

 

[Hawkins]

you say the guns not cocking... is it making a bang or just trying cycling ( back block moving back and forth)??
had a few problems with mine so heres a few pointers

If its not cocking and the sear isnt wore then it might even be the lug thats come loose.. drow an alen key down the hole at the top and see if the lug is easy to turn, as scars said if you give it half a turn down and it does cock but after a few hundred quickly pased shots the same problem occurs you might be needing to get a new hammer/lug that you can lock in place....

The bolt of the gun should just be in the breach when the gun is cocked, but just behind the feedneck when fully pulled back, if the bolt is still in the breach then usually you play about with the cocking rod but as karnis dont have them consult the manual on that one.

Electro marker no 3way rod to ajust so they're really the only problems...

Being a new marker ( i think you said it was ) the regs might need a fiddle as theyve been broken in.. HPR needs to be around 240 and the Lpr turn off and keep turning on till the marker fully cycles which will be 70 psi i think...
