calling cocker gurus! Need help!

[Automaggin2]

My gun was firing fine, until i had to be an idiot and tinker around with it. Now my gun freakin burps when i shoot it fast. when i shoot it past 4 balls a second i can see the gauge on my inline reg go down, eventually around 0, where it starts burpin. god i need help

[HoppysMag]

sorry cant resist

Did you mess with the hammer lug? Sounds like it maybe to far in..I'm new to learning cockers..but thats my guess.

[Automaggin2]

i actually think it might be my reg tho, it seems it isnt recharging fast enough

i might have some teflon tape blockin my air going into my reg, or i could have a bad reg seat.

Sounds like your trigger rod is adjusted out too far. Remove grip frame, turn the trigger rod that connects to the 3 way in small amounts at a time till good to go.

Not a 'cocker expert, just fooled with them a bit.

[Bob01RT]

Haha..all the possiblities, just take it apart and keep messing with it..lol

[PaInTbAlLeR476]

do what 50 cal said...although i dont know why you would remove your grip frame to time the gun...( so dont remove the grip frame)

[madfoo]

sounds like its out of time.. what did you tinker with?

i would suggest looking at a timing guide such as the one on paintballravi.com or air-powered.com and retiming it if you don't already know how..

It sounds like your firing and cocking point are too close together (timing problem). You can fix this by either:
A. Lengthening the timing rod, so it cocks later in the pull.
B. Shortening the sear lug so it fires earlier in the pull.

The gauge thing sounds a little weird. That's be more or less a problem with your inline reg than your Cocker (severe dropoff like that could cause problems while rapid firing with your Cocker. Lower pressures would eventually starve the LPR and cause the cocking pressure to be too low).

IMO, first try and fix (or get a new) inline reg. If that doesn't solve the problem, try to retime it like I mentioned above.

Good Luck!

Sorry man. Good luck. Just remember I told you cockers were fickle markers...awesome when they work and maddening when they don't!

here is one of the better trouble shooting pages out there.

good luck.

also if your gun is working (cocker or not) dont let some Ham Fisted Nimrod mess with it just because they have a set of allen keys

[Jonno06]

lol..my cocker burps sometimes when i shoot fast too...but thats because i short stroke sometimes..

my inline reg gauge broke because the stupid reg on my tank was too high...i can screw it in/out with my hand...its dumb..i need to loctite it or something...well,goodluck fixing your gun.

OK seeing how most people dident read that you said your pressure gauge drops down to zero, I will try to help. If the problem is showing on the pressure gauge then the problem is BEFORE the gauge. What type of air supply lines are you running, SS, macro, Micro? You should be useing at least Macro, if your using mico get rid of it. Then check you regulator and all fittings/lines for tape blocking the airflow, If thats not the problem then try a diffrent reg, or if you have a adjustable tank just skip the reg. Good Luck

ok, yes, i use macro. i thought the same thing, im going to gut my reg, i might have a piece of teflon tape stuck in there somewhere, cause i used a lot of teflon tape
