marker /hopper fault

[diablo user]

right lads got an ongoing fault unsure how about fault

set up : dm5
:empire reloader b rib drive.

righ it my mates marker but has never played a day happy been going on for 6 months tryed all paints though it still chopping paint now he has got that niffed of he has gave to me and said fix no matter what and cost.

the problem is it will fir 1 ball then chop the second or it will work for about 4-7 balls then chop again now i have tryed the hopper on diffrent speeds but still the same.

i have tryed my egg on it and there is no problems used about 1000 balls thought it not a single chop went back to the empire then back to the same fault but when it chops does it make a mess out of your game it chuks paint back into the hopper.

tryed the hopper on my marker same effect.

now i have tryed another mates empire on the marker and same again.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

now have any one eles had same problems with the empires not suiting certain markers.

thanks

It could possibly be double feeding, due to worn detents.

it is because the empire is a force feed it is hitting the chamber boucing back up and then the bolt is chopping it in midair there is a mod you can do to prevent this hope this helps

Actually balls bounce far less when force fed than gravity fed.

ok but it still happens sorry dont no where to get the mod

 

[diablo user]

anyone know about this mod

Never heard of the mod mate,
I know for a fact you can get the Reloader B to work on pretty much any gun without needing to modify it, so long as the gun and hopper are setup correctly.


Force feed hoppers do sometimes require a bit more effort to get working well.

Firstly what setting is the reloader on at the moment? If its not already on the lowest setting try turning it down one.

Make sure the spring arrangement in the drive cone is right and the cone is spinning back properly. I dont see why it could be wrong if he bought it new, but its worth a check.

Applying some grease to the drivebelt is always a good idea, it doesnt slow the hopper down at all but it does provide some protection by allowing the belt to slip if the spring tension builds up.

If none of this helps then it could be a duff board. I assume the hopper is still under warranty?

thanks mate i have tryed it on all 3 speeds but it still chops i carnt see it being the gun as i have tryed a few hoppers on it and its fine but in my head i just carnt see any thing wrong with the hopper its doing my head in because i have tryed my mates empire again to day and causes the same chops i think i am going insane just carnt get my head round it read the manual though and though.
