Hi all, got a problem here that i need to sort in time for NvS.

I was playing with my imp yestarday, and after about 500 balls it seemed to lose power.

I thought it was due to not having enuf CO2, although there was plenty in the bottle. I tried another and still the same problem, it shot about 3/4 balls ok, and then the rest just had no power. There is c02 getting into the reg, but there is no power getting behind the balls. You can feel the like of force when ur firing it.

Any ideas?

-Midge (omfg i hope it works for NvS).

Heads up and listen,

As Paul mentioned it seems to be blocked, but I personally would strip my Maxflow first and check the brass gauze filter in there as it is the point of entry for any gas into the gun. CO2 can be very dirty and you definatly need to check your filters more often than air or N2O.

Hope this helps.

P.S. We had one of our impys go down at the weekend and it was due to the nipples on the hardline hoses being too long and blocking of the elbow outlets???????

All the best see ya at BG2K2

Let me say something about co2 on an impulse. I used to own two of them. I found that the dwell will sometimes need adjusting when using co2 after several hours. Im not sure why....If you want to fix the problem (considering the fact that you may have the same problem I had) go hpa. Set the Dwell and play. nuff said.
