hi guys

bought a empire b reloader off here and it doesnt seem to feed properly...i fill it up with paint and turn it on in a really quiet place and i do the same with no paint in it and i try and fire my dm7 really quick and it doesnt feed quick at all and no paint ends up coming dwn the feedneck or i chop a ball and it obviously affects the performance of the gun.

any ideas guys

cheers

at home, if you turn it on, does it spin?

does it spin if you shout into the hopper, or if you slam the lid closed?

have you changed the batteries?

when you turn it on, what lights do you see (exactly)

yeah i press the button and it spins and turns around

it has a speed feed and when i shout into it then it turns but when i try and reinact a quick pace of firing it goes slow still...

this is my second battery i have tried and still have the same problems....i will use a brand new one in a minute

when you turn it on, what lights do you see (exactly) - when i turn it on i see a green light, flashes for 2 secs then it spins then continues to flash green at me

The loader may be set to the lowest speed ( there are 3 ) which may by why it wont load at a fast pace, or it may be a crimped wire or low batteries (but with a green light it shouldn't be) ( which pack are you using btw ? )..

have you got the manual to change the settings or shall i quote from mine ?

Are you using a single 9v (square) battery?

You need to use a battery pack of 6xAAs (or 4xAAs if you have that too)

Don't just use one 9v, that'd be your problem
