Argh, Cocker velocity problems

[Silentbob]

Running an Eclipse Eblade with typical front reg, blackmagic inline reg, and an Armageddon Air System. If I let the tank pressure drop below about 2500psi, the velocity becomes very erratic dropping from 280(ish) to sub 100 and then back again randomly. This was causing me so many problems at Ancaster. Wondered if anyone knows what could be causing it??

My feeling is that the Armageddon secondary gauge is lying to me, as that always shows 750-800psi even when this trouble starts. It got to the point where a ball would leave at vlowfps, and then I would fire one at 280, and it would catch up and ram the first ball in the barrel

Your views?

Set the out press to 650 then have a crack at that

setting the out pressure to 650 rather than what its at wont make any noticable difference.

remember those regs are for co2 as well which is 800psi

its alot more likely to be a problem with the inline reg.

I have a spare Geddon, so I was gonna try that first, but I will lower the output of the original one first and have a crack at that. Just a bit weird that it has only recently started doing it.

which again points to sumin on the inline wearing out.

as i said, changing the pressure is unlikely to fix anything.

I have had problems since converting to an E-Blade.

The gauge's on the tank and bottle are not very accurate (bottle reads 5000 when full to 4500).

Try running your 'geddon at just over 600 and wind your velocity adjuster right down, then use your reg to get the right velocity.

im with db on this sounds like summut sticking in the inline reg, id be tempted to strip it and give it a new set of orings

It is only 6 months old

I will have a quick chat with Planet, see what warranty is on the reg etc.

prob just some gunk in it, nothing to worry about
