Yes I agree, thats how I learned. But not everyone is mechanicaly minded. Not a weekend goes by without some kid coming up to me with a cocker they have just bought that was working fine but now doesnt work for some reason. most really arent interested in learning how to fix or time it, they want all the shiney bits and all the cool moveing parts, but they also want it to work no matter what. Some learn most don't and even the ones who put in the time and learn usually trade it in on an electo befor long, which leads to another bag of worms whenOriginally posted by Paul_collier
no no no, get it, take it apart and learn how to time it! It's the only way to own a cocker you got to know how it works and how to time it, if you don't then its a time bomb waiting to go off and you'll be dependant on other people being around to sort it if it slips out of time not to mention the expense of pro's sorting it out! Don't be afraid its only lumps of metal, get yourself of to Ravi's site or one of the other numerous cocker timing sites!

thier fancy new electro craps out.
Sounds just like me, exept for the bag of worms bit, electro markers? same deal, if you don't learn em you can't fix 'em!Originally posted by paintyerass

There again I agree, I've had my Angel copletely
apart aside from the 14 way, replaced the battery (metal hydride)
reattached the vibe motor and soldered a couple of connections.
Most people I know are too s#%t scared to even try to repair
thier own guns. The thing with electros is they usually either work or they don't, with a cocker its possible to have it so far out of time it seems to work but dosn't.

The best thing to do is read up on how to operate and maintian a cocker LONG before you buy one. When your cocker arrives at your door (or you pick it up from your local proshop) you should be able to maintain it and use with relative ease.
As for me, I'm just like those other guys. i have something for 10 minutes and it's in pieces. When i bought my first angel, first thing I did was install a new trigger, do the trigger job, and proceed to take it apart until there were no parts left in the body. I put it back together, used it the next day, and I've never had a problem with it. If you're not mechanically inclined or you don't want to learn, the cocker isn't the marker for you. Inevitably, every cocker will eventually need timing, new parts, or tinkering in it's lifetime. When the time comes that you want to upgrade it, or it craps out and needs fixin' you should be able to do it yourself, otherwise you'll always be dependant on others to fix your s%!t for you (which can not only cost you a fortune, but also be a major paint in the a$$). Know your marker. If you're not mechanically inclined enough to own a cocker DON'T. The cocker is NOT a low maintenence marker, if you want low maintenence and high ROF, the Bushy is a good choice. Know and love your marker, and it will know and love you back.

i just got a cocker and am willing to learn how to do everything, not tring to be a pest but could anyone who knows about cockers that is coming to SPARKLIE's site show me how they work, the only thing i know ow to do with out f*cking it up is takeing the bolt out and lubing the o-rings with vaseline (i heard that is what ur supose to do haent done it yet incase it is the wrong stuff, have taken bolt out though)
