Pmr efficiency troubles

[Liamey]

I have a pmr 08 with tech 7 bolt.for some reason,i can only get 2 pods of paint out of a 3000 fill running at 280fps.so nothing out of the ordinary.does anybody have an idea whats happening?

With that bolt you will be able to lower your dwel from 25 to 15 or even lower.

Lower the dwell to 15 then fire the marker, if it cycles then lower it again by 1, untill it wont cycle properly anymore, then increase the dwell by 1 and fire with paint.

This will help with your efficiency problems.

ok but does it sound like a problem with the marker or the bottle?ill try the dwell but my virtue board doesnt like being changed.lol.

It sounds like you got an upgrade bolt then didnt adjust your settings to suit the new bolt.

Oh and virtue boards respond well to a sledge hammer.

PMRs are gas hogs at the best of times so don't expect a miracle...

But the dwell should fix your problems.. if not then maybe your bottle has a leak or there is a leak somewhere on the gun?

will the dwell make much of a difference?ill give it a go but its going to cost me a lot to keep testing.will the normal pmr oring kit fit the tech 7 bolt?

Dwell makes a huge effect on efficiency, It shouldnt cost that much to get it running correctly.

i had this prob when i got the pmr 08 limited marker i just set all settings to the book and it sorted it but the dwell maybe the problem with upgrade board

The dwell will make a lot of difference because you have upgraded the bolt to one which NEEDS A LOWER DWELL.

You probably should read the blurb that comes with your bolt.


Or if you really dont want to adjust the dwell put the stock bolt back in.

i never got a package.bought it second hand in a bashed up pmr.ill try it anyway.
