Invert mini advice

[Tseaton]

Recently bought an invert mini, I have no air attached just battery, should the marker make a click noise when I pull the trigger? on my spyder vs2 there is an audible click with every pull of the trigger

Solenoid won't cycle if the eyes are switched on (and working properly) with no ball in the breech

The audible click you hear on the spyder could be the trigger microswitch. The mini doesn't use a microswitch as standard for trigger operation, but uses magnets and a hall effect switch instead - no moving parts other than trigger itself. Suggest reading the manual... properly

As above, Hold the trigger in and then turn the gun on, this will allow you to hear the 'click'

Thanks guys, checking it's not bust!

even when you try this with the eyes off the mini solenoid can be a bit funny to say the least. it can click quietly / loudly / barely at all with no air in. but air it up and it will fire flawlessly. if it dosn't then it could be a swolen solenoid seal or board issue (most likely the seal). so if you air it up and find its not firing or takes a few trigger pulls before it does then send me an email and i will send you some pictures of what a swolen solenoid seal looks like, how to fix it ect. very easy fix and dosn't require a new solenoid! it looks like nothing is wrong with the solenoid but the seal only needs to swell by around 0.5mm to cause this so it can be hard to spot!

Thanks dw! Reading up and many people say the minis solanoids are sometimes loud and quiet but 99% of the time it doesn't affect anything, just makingnsuremit isn't a serious problem

Or with no air attached stick your finger in the breach and pull trigger, il stress the NO air though or your name will be franky 3 fingers. Happened to me once, finger down feedneck, bang, it was like my mini turned into an ill tempered snapping turtle on steroids. X

Haha schoolboy error

The bolt should stop if you do that and not hurt.... I tested it out on my Creed and Mini and it makes you jump but the bolt does what it is meant to do and stop..
