Another Ion Problem - Bolt / Firing

[Michael Merola]

Ok 2 problems really.

Basically gas the gun up, switch it on - Tank @ 600 and inline at 270 (max i put it to). Can hear the solenoid firing but the bolt doesnt move at all... just doesnt budge, yes ive made sure eyes are off

Got dwell set to 12 , tryed 14 aswell, not sure whether to try higher

Its a Ion with Hyper 2 reg, qev , conquest air system, us board.

Any ideas?

Also, number 2.

When switch my Conquest on , its so bloody hard to get the switch down and locked, even with the pressure set quite low. Is it supposed to be like that? or am i doing something silly?

Not sure if this is whats causing your problem but shouldn't that be set to about 130 ish?

Thats just the last settings i used it at. Tryed 130ish aswell !

How olds the batt's in it? I know if they're old it can cause all sorts of problems. Could be worth putting a new set in just to check.

tryed that aswell, first thing i did

its worrying that you had it set at 300, from what ive read 250 is enough to destroy your noid.


anyway....

1. Check your dwell is set correctly.
2. replace your battery again, with one you are sure is fresh

3.Take the body apart, uninstall the front banjo. And gas it up (air will be coming from the loose banjo as well). the bolt should fly forward.

if this happens it means that mechanically your bolt assembly should be in working order.

after that, your noid will be under suspicion

Well when i say 300, that was a rough guess, probally more 270 tops honestly

Will try and take it apart in the morning

Ta,

Have you got a qev in it? you didnt mention it , but dwell so low suggests it.

 

[FrontManDan]

the operating pressure of the ion is 150-200 psi.

the gauge on the side gives a good indication.

because you cranked it up so high, i recon you have damaged your noid.

** well, i had it low at start, wasnt working so i gradually put it up and still didnt work ** I didnt just wack it on 250 !

And yes sorry i do have a qev in it, hence that low dwell
