noughty dogs/alias timmy problem

[Tom Allen]

Open up your lpr a bit, it sounds like the valve is ok, but there's no air.

If the valve (solenoid) is clicking, then the electronics are working. Go to the next step which is air.

I'll be at the next pa, if you don't get any joy.

if you are feeling brave you could take the noid apart, the rod might have just got stuck, take it apart ,LIGHTLY grease it with a thin lube, not thick like dow 33 and reassemble.

 

[Tom Allen]

If you do, be gentle and keep clean. The seals are small and mating surfaces need to be kept very clean.

Before you strip it, take it out and slowly gas up the marker. Air should be present at one of the ports below the valve, if not then go back to the lpr.

If you want a chat give me a bell on 07773 364246

it isn't the air it is ok when you do it manually. i have taken it apart and it seems to be ok.tom i will give you a call later today thanks m8.

 

[Tom Allen]

As Dr Strangelove has already said, have you checked the battery. What do they use, 9v. If so replace it..

 

[fatbeerboy]

i have changed the battery i think it must be the noid or the board not sending enough power to the noid. i just need someone to lend me a noid or board to rule one of them out.

 

[Tom Allen]

Get your 9v pp3 and a couple of wires, and pulse the valve (solenoid) with it, observing it's polarity and after dissconnecting it from the board. If you have a 6v power source use that.

 

[fatbeerboy]

right after trying the board and noid on an alias i have narrowed it down to the noid. can anyone fix these or have one for sale. pheonix and planet haven't got them and if they did they would be about £80-£100!!!

 

[Tom Allen]

They are repairable, but it's fiddly work. I'll have a look if you want.
