Warpfeed problems

[Jack Napier]

I'm having trouble with my warp feed in vibration mode. Its not picking up vibrations every shot which is causing misfires. It worked fine the first 3 weeks, but its all whacky lately. I turned the knob all the wayuntil it started to spin. I then turned it counter-clockwise to stop the spinning. I have also removed 2 of the jumpers from the delay. Delay right? Well I'm pretty pissed that I can't use my warp to its fll potential. I'm already planning on getting a lvl10. I don't want to have to add an intelli to the list. Are all warps like this?

Before I get to my questions, have you checked this thread out?

Alright, so what kind of marker are you using? What's your set up? THe jumpers are associated with how long the warp spins per activation. It may be that your warp is jamming on the balls you were shooting. Were they dry shell balls?

Don't worry, this should be a pretty easy problem to fix=)

I'm shooting a classic mag,nitroduck 47/3000 tank,Rico 2k, and a Psychoballistics drop. I have a HL body and the warp is to my right side. I'm right handed and can fit my hand in there to create very low-profile marker. I've been having problems with my warp ever since the tourny I played at. I was shooting JT maxim. Lately I have been shooting a mix of paintballs. The maxim, lil bit of bigball, and some field paint. The field paint has a similar shell to that of powerball. Since reading that thread I've removed three of my jumpers and turned the friction discs around. I'm going to need some air to continue my troubleshooting though. I'll let you know.

Alright. Keep us informed. Good luck

the more of those jumperss you remove the less time the disks spin. That maybe the problem. it i skipping shots becuase you have turned the dwell time down to the point it does not load now. you want to have enough jumpers on there that the wheel turns about 1/4-1/2 turn every shot. that way it will feed consistantly.

Make sure your jumpers are installed vertically. If they are horizontal they are not doing anything but being stored. I have two vertical, and two horizontal. This allows the warp to spin for about 2/3 of a spin. If you use the mod for my warp on my webpage (I rememer you asking about it.. how'd it go?) you won't need to worry about the battery draw, otherwise 1/4 turn would be good.

Also, the warp will activate right, it does spin when the potentiometer (blue knob for sensitivity) is turned fully clockwise? If it does, it's not quite broken in. Did you follow the run-in procedure, get a new 9v battery, plug it into the warp, turn the knob all the way clockwise and walk away for a few hours. If it's still running when you return, let it run till the battery dies. By then, when you put a new battery in it, you'll have to re-adjust the sensitivity as the motor will be properly run-in.

You may have even ogtten a "bad" vibration sensor, which if during shipment the warp package was dropped or if you took a hard fall on it during the tourny it could killed it. Don't get me wrong i've dropped mine, laded on mine etc and it's still running but anythings possible.

One last question, did you remove the warp board at anytime maybe during cleaning at tourny? If you did, did you put the two little springs back in, under the board? If you didn't then we can rule that out. Let me know whats up. I'm not an warp expert, but in my ventures in mods on them I know the fairly well

they use a piezeo effect sensor for those.......I highly doubt a sharp impact could damage it. they are very study sensors. unless you actually crack the case the sensor is in, it will not be hurt be by sensing impacts.

did you try putting a new battery in it?

if you leave the battery connected between days at the field it will drain the battery because the sensor uses just a little electricity even when its not spinning.

Hello Frausty. I haven't been able to mod my warp yet. I don't have any extra cash for the battery. Instead of the battery, I boughta lvl10. Your mod might be next , if I can fix this new problem that has come up. The warp isn't senseing any vibration now that I've installed the lvl 10. I've tried cranking it all the way up and it still won't sense. I think I'm going to have to get an intelli to solve this problem. I did have my jumpers installed horizotally before. I now have 2 jumpers set vertical. Is this the correct number?

I don't have any extra cash for the battery. Instead of the battery, I boughta lvl10.

so le me get this straight; you couldnt afford 4.50$ for a double pack of 9v batteries to see if you warp was working right, but you could afford 85$ for a level ten. and now your warp is able to sense even less vibration and its got the same old battery in it?!

LET LOGIC BE YOU GUIDE!!!

[Jack Napier]

Okay you have no idea what I was talking about. I couldn't afford a RECHARGEABLE battery pack to mod my warp. I was talking to Frausty . If you don't know the flavor stay out of the koolaid.

[rjvemt1]

If you don't know the flavor stay out of the koolaid

im sorry i thought this was a thread about the 'agd' warp not a 'time' warp thread? what decade ARE you living in?

I'm having trouble with my warp feed in vibration mode. Its not picking up vibrations every shot which is causing misfires. It worked fine the first 3 weeks

sounds like that three week old batery might be a problem andreplaceing a twdollar battery is the first an easiest step in trouble shooting.

Since reading that thread I've removed three of my jumpers and turned the friction discs around. I'm going to need some air to continue my troubleshooting

sound like a whole lot more touble than just replacing a batery.

Did you follow the run-in procedure, get a new 9v
battery, plug it into the warp, turn the knob all the way
clockwise and walk away for a few hours

i includ this quote from frausty incase you missd it the first time. see the part about the'new' battery?

You may have even ogtten a "bad" vibration sensor,

another example of problems that are a lot harder to elliminate than a dead battery!

if your car wont start do you run right out and replace the engine? no, you check to see if you are out of gas first right(well thats what most inteligent people do). ill tell you what, ill giv you 20$ for your 'broken' warp and you can go buy a brand new one.

[Jack Napier]

Okay smart guy. Like I said you don't know jack about whats going on. Your just assuming I don't change my batteries. Where are you getting that from? I did not know I wasn't suppous to leave paint in my warp when its not in use. I flipped my friction discs because of that. I also put my jumpers in the correct position. I ran in my motor, so I don't need your crap kid. I don't think I got a bad vibration sensor because it was working fine before. It now works fine with my original bolt, but the lvl10 has now caused another problem. I can't fix it anyways right now. I need a new regulator valve tip spring to continue.

[rjvemt1]

sorry mister, i just figured that since you never said anythng about changing the battery then, well shucks, maybe it never got done(silly me)!

you asked us for help in touble shooting your problem. i asked you a simple question:

did you try putting a new battery in it?

i even expained why the battery might be dead after only three weeks(jst incase you didnt red the directions):

if you leave the battery connected between days at the field it will drain the battery because the sensor uses just a little electricity even when its not spinning

in the very next post you said(i love that quote buttom):

I don't have any extra cash for the battery. Instead
of the battery, I boughta lvl10.

..........hhmmmmm sounds like an answer to my 'soliceted' suggestion. dont act like a chump...

Okay smart guy. Like I said you don't know jack about whats going on. Your just assuming I don't change my batteries. Where are you getting that from?

answer: 'from your posts!'

and you wont have any 'kids' flaming yor pathetic posts!

[Jack Napier]

Maybe you should read the beginning of my post. I was addressing frausty obviously. I disregarded your original post because it didn't help me. Your misunderstanding is understandable, but just because you don't know how to interpret my post, doesn't make me stupid.
