What tends to wear on a warp feed?

[sTaLa]

I'm about to order a warp feed and I take a look at the used ones. I wanted to know what are the parts that need to be replaced the most often as I'll order a package of spare parts from AGD.

Thanks.

Read the warp manual, it can be found here (http://www.airgun.com/downloads/WarpInstructions.pdf).

Drive belt should be replaced once or twice a year, so those are handy to have, and don't overtighten the screws that keep the board in place. If those become loose, the warp sensor will not function properly. Also there is a warp FAQ on this board worth reading. :)

yeah listen to him about the board screws..stupid things...grrrr...

board screws can strip easy

wiring harness can also break or be removed fairly easily

and the drivebelt as said should be replaced(as they get stretched they lose tourque)

also one more thing to lookout for is worn or discolored friction disk. if they sre stretched sideways or flimsy they wont hold paint as well either

Yeah, i know how that sucks... Even using slightly bigger screws didnt solve the problem, so i had to replace the shells. No biggie tho, but you have to de-solder the warp motor to replace them. Also the warp battery harness can come loose, so it's not really a bad idea to learn some soldering skills when owning a warp feed. :)

To prevent pressure disk warping you should never leave paint in it after use, and remove the battery. The warp drains the battery a little over time, so disconnect it or have a switch built in. (i use rechargables, so this is no issue for me since those drain over time anyway)

and to add to that, i would/do remove the drivebelt if storing for a while(it will give the band time to regain tension)

warps are great, but i do reccomend a few ups like on/off mod/12vlt mod/intelli

tunaman should have any warps parts you might need. and might ask or look into the price of a new one..i think i paid like $50~ for a brand new clear one and that was a while ago.

just an fyi, since i know the replacement parts are $ seperately

Thanks for the answers.

But I can't find any drive belt on airgun.com. I went through both warp feed parts pages and found nothing. Here are the links I visited.

Can anyone guide me to a place where I could find those drive belts?
Thanks.

i think this is it.. (http://automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=207863)

while we are on the subject, if im using the emag warp interface cable, does it matter if the boards screwed down? since im not using the vib sensor..

mine was stripped for ever when i used my inteliframe with switch and cable. worked fine

[Rudz]

thats what i figured since i wouldnt be using the vib sensor. thanks

Well, your link redirects me to the very thread I started about the warp. I don't know if it was your intention, but it doesn't help very much :confused:.

So, if anyone could show me where to get those drive belts, that would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Same here lol

First off I would do one of the mods. I did the double 9 volt mod and it worked great. I could play an entire day off one battery. Another great mod is the power switch so you don't have to remove your batteries over and over and over and over and over after every day of play.

The one durrablitiy thing I would say to look out for is sand. I got just the slightest bit of sand into the old warp and she never worked again. Then I moved to intellifeed and personally I thought it was better than sound drive anyways.
