Hey all
On saturday i went down to my local to use my ion for the first time, had abit of help from the marshalls setting it up. anyway things go smooth untill the last round, when my gun just cuts out on me, i mean just goes dead, so i check my barrel with a squeegee try firing it again, anyways that didnt work so i just walked out of the battle thinking WTF, get back to the safe area check out my gun, see some paint suck in the feedport clean it out, and the try fire and nothing happens, now im thinking this shouldnt happen. Anyways i get home have like an 1 or 2 rest then go look at my gun, i start having a look around it, try firing it and still nothing. then after five minutes BANG it fires again. Now im like thank god, but anyways i go to empty the air out of the tank byt shooting it off, and i go a turn it on, the light flashes like 1 every 5 secs etc and it wont fire on that mode so i change it to the next mode and it fires, now is that normal and what can i do?? Also the next day (well today) i turn on my ion and the first flashing mode is like constant flashes then i change mode and its normal on that mode, i go back to the first mode and its still the same, now what is happening to my ion?? has anyone had this problem, and what should i do, and i mean this ion is brand new

Thanks

the first mode has the eyes turned on and will only fire if theres paint in the gun. the second mode is ramping and will fire even if theres no paint inside the gun. Probablly not very helpful but you never know.

when you first turn it on the eyes are on so it wont shoot if theres nothing there, hold the button so it changes flash sequence and flashes every time you pull the trigger, the eyes are off. So to fire off the air you need to turn the eyes off.

If the only button you have access to is the on / off button Then you can only do four things. In this order i think

Turn the gun on (hold button)
Turn the Eyes OFF (single press)
Turn the Eyes ON (Single Press)
Turn the Gun off (Hold Button).

Im not sure what all the flashing sequences are, ill get my ion later if i remember and have a look-see. Or hopefully someone who knows will be here first.

well, £50 of upgrades (Change donkey and feedneck) as the other cash u talkin of would be a barrel kit, which ud have to buy for the other guns anyway.

£250 (prolly less) for a gun that can mow just as well? yes please :).
