Shocker with severe drop off

[wee_mikee]

I'm having the same problem. First shot is fine then rest drop off, I've recently replaced my board with a blackheart one. The pressure seems to be fine sits around the 200 mark on the guage. Not sure how to fix it as im new to Shockers and electro markers. I'm going to the NvS game. Would the guys at the smartparts stand service it for me? if so how much do you think it would cost?

whats your dwell set at?

try upping it about 4/5 chirps.

www.zdspb.com will tell you everything you need to know about shockers

Thanks to everyone who replied and gave advice, the problem is now sorted. i downloaded a manual and a dwell adjustment guide.

Took the back off and removed the internals, gave everything a good clean and oiling. then lowered the dwell right to the lowest setting and gradually increased it until the gun started cocking and firing. Then increased it by 8 chirps and gave it a test.

Blasted 20 balls through it in a couple of seconds, no drop off at all.

Going to give it a proper try out at the weekend.

Thanks again for the help

Please tell me you didn't actaully use oil, but used Dow33 instead

 

[Andygoth]

Well it wasn't dow. it was the eclipse stuff

 

[balf]

Use only dow 33 on a shocker. EVER. Unless your me and I have uses for eclipse oil in there, but seriously, use only dow 33

 

[Rider]

good point mr. balf.
clean it off the oil and relube with the proper stuff.

Why do they always suggest such expensive lubricants

HHC 2000 for e-blades is about £12 a can
Dow 33 is £8

Used to be able to get away with 3 in 1 and vasceline in my day.

Fortunately they are not my guns, just been fixing them for someone else.

Just bought myself an SL66.

there are cheaper lubes that do the same job but they will tend to nibble away at the o-rings more quickly. so you can go with a cheaper lube and then spend more in orings....
