Flatline Reg. Maintenance.

[ottomobile]

Maintenance? Other than keeping it clean and playing I haven't touched it since I got it. I figured I'll take it out and rebuild it when it breaks. The o-ring are probably a good 5 years old and still going strong. Think works like a champ!

Is there a new thread that has the pictures anywhere or a website maybe?

Search www.warpig.com tech pages. There is an article on flatline maintenance. I would post the link, but it went out with my old computer.

Well I tested out that link and found it...

I have a 3000 flatline I recieved in a trade and it won't take a fill I changed the fill nipple twice as well I have no idea what it could be.

Back out the fill nipple half a turn and see if it starts filling with air. It's possible in some cases to use a fill nipple that has a check valve that won't open if you tighten the fill nipple in too far. Depends on the type of fill nipple used...

It seems like the stainless fill nipples can work the aluminum pretty hard also. I would think that after you crank one in and out several times, the nipple may be sitting lower in the hole than it was when new.

darn it...now that I need to do maintenance on my flatline, the pics aren't there...

Have you tried going to the Warpig site? I think their walk-through has images on their flatline maintenance page.

[Spider-TW]

Try the one on MCB also.

45k flatline question:

My reg seat looks like a white piece of cast plastic. Completely rigid, and the piston is far too large to move through it. How do you replace this part or remove it for cleaning the piston?

You need to replace the reg seat now. If you dont know how to do it you will bend the reg pin. Talk to Tuna for a rebuild. He just edjumacated me at TB4 rebuilding one of mine. You need a papermate pen as a tool. LOL

Sounds great, but I'm the type who likes to be in the "edumacated" club too. Ballpoint pen, huh? I'll PM Tunaman. Hopefully I'll be able to catch him at D-Day.
