reloader issues

[pb-daz]

hi guys, i know ive posted about my loader a lot but im still havin issues with it, firstly im not sure if its a b or b2, i only seem to 3 speed settings yet i have a mag lid which from what i read is only on b2's, plus i brought it 2nd hand and it came in a b2 box?? the issues im having are that no matter what speed i set it on the speed doesnt seem to change, if anything setting 3 is slowest? which conflicts the manuals, and im sure its forcing the paint so hard some balls break in the marker, please help as im really confused and frustrated and id love to go paintballing and actually be able to play, thanks a lot guys daz

Sounds like your boards knackered pal,put a post up in the wanted section or keep your eyes peeled in the for sale thread for a reloader board. Dont go for a halo board unless you get the eyes for it as well.

hi guys, thanks for all suggestions, ill give a little more info,

using 1x 9v battery the hopper sometimes barely works, litterally just about gets turning, and other times works fine, very dependant on specific battery,

2x 9v is very similar results,just a little more power

4x AA batteries is the issue that all spin speeds are the same, if anything setting 1 faster than setting 3

6x AA batteries seems to work best although the microphone seems to be very hard of hearing on speed 1 which is ideally what i want to use,(im not intending on ever shooting more than 10 bps)

with 6x AA's on speed 3 it spins mega fast with no issues so im guessing the motor is fine, although that was my first thought,

by the way im using a dm6 if this means anything, havent had either that long and havent had them working properly since so any help would be great, cant wait to start enjoying them, any more ideas with this in mind?

thank again for very fast replys to all, daz

I take it your eyes are working in your gun and your detents are ok? i used mine with 6 aa's on setting 3 for years, never had a problem. are you able to try the loader on another gun to see if it still happens? have you any paint at home? perhaps you could try putting your hopper on your gun with paint in and tap the loader so it spins to see if it is breaking paint or if its your marker.

May be worth buying a new motor, they are cheap at around £6-£10. Over time and use they do slow down.

do you have the sound settings?

if not it is a B, and most probably the motor has gone

you can get them from maplins for about £3

I would do the above and get a new motor
