Hi guys.

Forgive me if the following are common problems, I am new to electro pneumatic markers.

I have just bought a second hand SL74 and took it to a friends to use in his garden today. I took a couple of shots and the best I can describe is that it was misfiring. Basically, you'd get a couple of normal loud shots, then a couple of "put put" shots where there was no pressure, then back to shooting normally again. On top of this, when it was shooting normally it was chopping a lot of paint and sometimes 2-3 balls were coming out at a time.

I degassed the marker and took the tank off and I couldn't shoot of the remaining gas, it was trapped in there and when I pulled the trigger I could here that a very tiny bit was coming out each time. Then all of a sudden it all came out through the OOPS and blew the piston bit out - which I have now put back in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I bought the marker to play with on the 12th so I am really hoping I can get it fixed by then.

Many thanks.
Nathan.

No worries everyone I am hoping I have found the solution. I had a look at the detents and one was snapped. I am hoping the loader was forcing balls past them, which would make sense.

Have ordered some new and will post again if it works as may be useful for someone else one day.

Many thanks.

Was the detents, did the battery first to no effect, should have stated in other post.

The loader was forcing balls down the barrel, and was messing the eyes up so it was mis-firing.

Thanks again for all the help guys :)
