ok guys here goes:

bought an ego 05 off here recently and love it to pieces!! used it in a few training sessions and starting to get the feel for it now ive set the trigger my way and stuff!!
last week it was great, the odd break but i put it down to slightly off paint dirtied the eyes!! stripped it cleaned the usual bits all good!!!

today nothin but grief!!!
i'm gettin major drop off and double firing at some points, especially after its been ramping then i do a few single taps!!!

i can let it rip at 15bps and its fine!! but snapping it was playin up!!
but when i fed single balls in by hand fine!!!
any ideas????

oh and i even took out my kila detents and put the old ones in just to see if it made a diff!! but not really!! barrels too!!

When you say it double firing after you have been in ramp mode! do you mean PSP mode? if you do it may be doing what it should - if you pull the trigger within one second it will restart ramp immediately in that three shots will be fired.
And put all your settings back to factory default, they kinda know at planet how to set them up:)

read the manual !!!

set it to semi !!!

check for bounce!!!

lube the regs and oil the rammer as per the manual !!!

you probably have it on psp mode - which is 15bps ramp with 1 second restart!!! hence when shooting it will do 15bps all day, then shoot 3 shot burst as the restart!!! this might explian the problem of you having "double shooting" as Russell correctly pointed out!!!


check these things then come back!!!

its on ramp mode 3 which is millenium.

all the parts such as rammer etc are cleaned and lubed after each use! the reg does need doin.
and theres nothin else in the manual that helps at all!!!

sorry when i say double firing its almost like the detents are worn, but the're not!!
and from ramping lettin it rest the shootin again more than 1 sec!!!

i've done the bottle tap bounce test, and its dosnt fire!!
