my tippmann 98 is buggered

[Ollie17]

hey people, my secondary gun is a tippmann 98 custom and i was using it today when all of a sudden i lost most of the power from the co2 bottle, it was an airsource one so i unscrewed it and there was loads of gas left because it shot out everywhere. I tried a new bottle and it was fine for about 10 shots but then it seemed to lose all compression inside the gun and when i fired the paintballs would just roll out of the barrel. Any tips on what to do would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

I think u should try useing a normal co2 bottle or an air bottle, it mite of been that the gun dont like straight co2 going in to the gun. try gating a sypher on the co2.

Do you Open it up and lube it everytime? My experiance with c02 on my tippman 98 is that it recks the internals (obviously), and it leaves some black goo stuff (c02 liquid + paint) just try wiping that off with some tissue or somthing than puting some lube in.
Also check your orings as sergested above.

Other Problem may be your Velocity i think what did you have it set to?

I have opened it up and cleaned it and also checked the o-rings, i will have to replace some of them and see how it does after that.

cheers

Did you put everything back in right! especialy that orange thing by the feed tube (that thing is a bugger to find if you lose it)...
