Cocker help??

[Dusty]

Tried to shoot my brothers cocker tonight, but air is coming down through the barrel. I have not got the first blue clue about these damned things so any help would be greatly appreciated.

it doesn't seem to be cocking properly but when you moanually pull the bolt back it holds. it is a factory eblade with a zero be recently fitted. it worked extremely well with the original e1 board.

any ideas????

also lost the eye cover screw, so if anyone has a spare one they are prepared to sell me drop me a line.

cheers,

dwell settings?

sound to me like the timing could be out???
try speaking to voodoodoll on these forums he knows his cockers

Air coming out of the barrel is usually the hammer resting on the exhaust valve, so first of all pull the cocking rod back to cock the marker, then turn the grip on, turn the eye off (top button til the eye symbol changes), then pull the trigger.

Does it have a adjustable LPR at the front?

If the above don't work try (slowly) turning the LPR pressure up (turn it in)

It should start recocking as the LPR goes up.

does the air stop leaking through the barrel when you pull the cocking rod back? if so your valve seal is fine and the leaking air is nothing to worry about, your problem is timing.

Take the grips off, turn the board on and press the little red button on the board, cycle through the setting modes and set it to factory fast, should sort your timing issues out.
If this doesnt work then your LPR may need adjusting, your sear or hammer lug has worn down or your cocking rod needs screwing in more... or less (forward inursur can cause the hammer lug to slip off the sear also).

air stops leaking when i pull the bolt back. is the cocking rod the one on the side or under the bolt?

air stops with bolt back, but when the trigger is pulled air leaks and the bolt will not recock. any ideas??

cheers guys

what he said then if your still having problems try the timming

ok timing adjusted to factory fast lpr turned in slowly made no difference apart from air is now leaking from the front qev. when trigger is pulled air is still pissing down the barrel..............

The cocking rod is the rod coming through the back block under the bolt. The bolt is supposed to come back forward after firing, its a "closed bolt" marker which means the bolt rests in the forward postion when static.
The problem is that the hammer (the big heavy bit attatched to the cocking rod) is not recocking. Try shortening your cocking rod by screwing the dongle on the end of it in a few mm's, there may be a small grub screw down the end of it that you have to loosen before it will screw along the rod.
Otherwise your Lug or sear might be worn or your lpr may be too low.

Edit: are you sure you're turning the lpr up and not down? seems unlikely that a qev would leak from too much pressure. Gas up and try to pull the backblock backwards... if its fairly easy to pull backwards then your low pressure is too low.
