regulator valve pin

[johnsonsmile]

well i just put in the LVX i went to put air to the gun and nothing happen? well air for aome reason air was not making it to the reg at all. didn't even cock. so then i said what the hay i clean it and still didn't work. i tried 2 different tanks both i know work very good and are above 800 psi. all the fittings are good and the hoses
well i the only thing i can think it could be is the regulator valve pin assembly not clearing for air to enter the gun (blocking the hole) i looks like that is what it is doing i would also like to know what is the life is for that part. i only got 8000 shots on the gun and a part went bad that fast?

did you crank up the velocity?

[johnsonsmile]

ya all the way at one time

[Tunaman]

Try holding the trigger back when you gas it up.

[johnsonsmile]

did that too

[Tunaman]

disassemble the valve and lube everything.

[johnsonsmile]

ya i cleaned and lube everything

[johnsonsmile]

i really don't know what it could be how far does that valve pin have to go in mine if you look in the hole where the air enters the valve that pin is blocking it and no air can get passed it

You have an air valve correct?

If so, take off the back regulator half and pull out just the reg valve pin. Set the reg valve pin in the hole to the regulator back piece and hold it so the pin is pointing straight up. There should be about a 1/16" gap inbetween the pin and the reg. seat. If there isn't, measure the pin. It should measure to be .710". Also, replace your regulator seat.
