Basically I turn it on, air it up and it won't fire. Although there was air getting to the bolt. I got Syd (NSPL organiser who is a trained Dye tech) to look at it sunday and even he was stumped.
He did note though:
1. He has changed every one of the o-rings on the bolt that he feels could be causing it to not fire
2. Air is getting to the bolt but the bolt is pushing forward in the chamber which seems to indicate to him that there is a possible leak somewhere
3. The solenoid is working
4. Syd replaced the regulator to check and see if it was that but still had the same problem.
5. Every time Syd pushed the bolt back with his finger it would push forward again.
6. Yes it has a brand new battery in. (Tried several, all lights come on and work it just won't fire.)
This is a problem that worsened over time. It started off with it only giving a feeble pfft pfft sound when you first aired up and fired it for the first few shots, then like a cold car engine it would gather steam and work ok so long as the air remained attached and it wasn't de-aired. Then as time went by it would be longer and longer to start, until the first 10,20,30,40 trigger pulls wouldn't give any indication that air was getting to the bolt.
Its now refusing to fire at all.
Any idea's anyone ? I've sent an email to Ash at Dye but he's out of the office until thursday.
