bob long timmy leak

[tomo110290]

just aired up for the first time since i got it about a week ago lpr pressure is at 130 psi i seen they run good at 90 psi so i turned it down to 90 psi and that was that but later i aired it up agian and it was back to 130 psi and had a leak inside the grip frame i need this for the weekend

ninja edit the lpr wont come down from 125 psi now and leak is still there

any ideas peaple

Dear lord no, a timmy should be running around 85psi at absolute MAXIMUM.

Putting it up to 125 will only damage your noid, if you havent done it already.


Bring both the grub screws out until they are flush with the caps.

Screw the HPR in 4 and a half twists

Slowly, and ideally while shooting, screw your LPR in untill aprox 75-80 PSI.


This should have you shooting around 300FPS, use the HPR to adjust velocity, making sure the LPR is staying at 75-80.


If your still leaking, check the hoses, if they are all secure, you may need to do a solenoid rebuild.

Hi Tomo.

If that's the 05 Alias you got off us then it certainly wasn't set up to run at 125, it ran between 70 and 75 and at 260 to 270 fps.

Should be as solid as a rock at that.

might of just been some crap on lpr piston i aint blaming you as ive sed a quick clean of the lpr and lube and all sorted

The LPR may need a rebuild (new seals) if it keeps creeping, especailly if the gun is left standing for a while when aired up. As Bon said you risk damaging solenoid if pressure gets over 90psi. My own Empire 1 cycles at 60 - 65psi but that has an upgraded Lurker ram.

right ive just aired my timmy up and its only been sat for 2 hours and its at like 200 psi this is bad i set it how bon sed and it was shooting with reballs at 85 psi now its 200 psi i dont get it

ive just put the lpr to flush and set it up again its cant be right that i have to do that all the time

 

[Bon]

your going to need to do a full rebuild of both of your regs.
