May sound a bit silly "BUT" have you tried changing the battery, we get loads of walkon player where I work and they have similer sounding problems, even if you think the battery is new it's always better to try a couple before getting new solenoids etc

as jarhead says first try a new battery or even 2 as the first one may be a duff, then check that your air is screwed all the way in, if it still does it, try backing the air out about a quater of a turn. failing that take the bolt out clean it lube it and refit it then try again. if that still doesn't work find some1 who knows what they're doing!!

I've had a look at the firing design and my reckoning is if still no joy after a clean/relube and a fresh batt, check the 2 central o-rings on the bolt (well the back 2 really but they are in the middle of the bolt) they are the only 2 I can see causing teh bolt to not cycle fully and make the pffft sound

I don't know what Dangerous Power recommend for a lube on their guns but I'd use something like dow33 on the threshold as it's proven on spool style guns, only takes a light coating.

Your right Balf, my friends did this, I replaced the two central bolt o-rings gave it a good lubing up and it shot like a b**** on heat...... Also check the dwell settings, should be set to 14ms Dip switch 1 up and 2 down I think but I am not sure, check the manual. Finnaly and I am defo not sure on this so don't quote me on it; There is an anti-stick option that shoots the first ball at 16ms and then reverts to 14ms, I do not know if it is possible to turn this off but just check to make sure it is working.
Have Fun!

right i retried it without doing anything apart from changing battery and it still happens and also it is leaking air now so im going to take it over to lips on friday you think thats good idea or try doing it myself?

Do what I told you, if LiPS just clean and re-lube you will feel a right twonk, it's part of routine maintenance better to learn sooner than later as you'll have to do it at least once a month

got no greas i only got dye slick lube which comes with the pmr will that be ok?
