emag problems...

[Esparky]

ok, when i fire my emag it shoots fine the first shot but then if i shoot quick after it then it doesnt even fire. if i wait 3 seconds or so it will barely put one out the barrel. if i wait 5 or so seconds it wil shoot fine.. help..

adjust the velocity/regulator nut.
youre not getting enough air in there.

i have messed with that a little, but it didnt seem to help

Is your battery properly charged? Do you have air in your tank? Try adjusting your trigger a little bit, the trigger magnet may be too close to the HES and therefore be affecting it.

ok heres what i know, when i first shoot it fires good, but then u have to wait for it to recock so to speak cuz u can hear the on/off pin come back and then u have to wait 2 or so seconds before it will fire with normality and the battery is fine, it does the same thing in manual mode.

Ummmmm . . . I guess try breaking down your valve, cleaning and then oiling everything. I think that should do it. If not IM me on AIM and we'll talk some more.

Did the emag work before? Have you made any changes or adjustments since it was working. ie; add new drop or bottle or clean the valve.

Do you have a level 10 bolt installed?

What type of air tank are you using?
What is the output pressure of your tank?
What are you using to get gas from the tank to the valve?
What velocity is the first shot being shot at?
Are you using EMode, mech, or Hybrid? What happens when you fire in manual mode?
Are there any air leaks?

The's tanks out pressure causes the on/off pin to be reset. If your on/off seems to be sticking, I'd inspect it (make sure it isn't bent or anything silly), re-oil o-rings and reassemble the marker. The next thing I'd check is for a blocked air passage, like maybe some teflon tape stuck in the hose near the air input on the marker. If you have an adjustable air tank, set the output pressure to about 900-950 psi. You should be able to sweet spot the mag in mech mode with the output in this range. You should also be able to rapid fire with no problems. If you can't, turn up the velocity until you can.

yes lvl10 is installed, and he said there was no leaks and the lvl10 was working good. i bought it from a dude and i asked the third party guy to replace all the orings, and make sure everything worked good. hes a mag tech... so he told me it worked beautifully before it left, i also had him do a trigger job on the mag.

*edit* to ignatz

im using a air america apocolypse 68/45k psi adjustable tank
output is at around 800
used to have macro but it blew out.???. so now im using stainless
compared to my friends mag at 280 prolly like 330 or so, so pretty hot
my problems happen in all modes of fire
there is one tiny leak but u have to have silence and ur ear up to the fitting to hear it
i have inspected the on/off, but nothin seems to be wrong with it and i put a friends
if i try to rapid fire the 2nd or 3rd shot will be just pressure on the trigger like if ur LX is frozen or ur spring is too big and it wont fire, but if i wait itll click and shoot and then i have to wait for it to click again otherwise it will do what i said above... i have the stock spring in.
and if i turn the velocity up all it does is leak through the reg piston...

thanks alot to everyone who has tryed to help... im hopefully gettin closer...

[Esparky]

its fixed

hey thanks for all the help everyone, i dont know exactly what i did, but i took the valve apart again. i cleaned and oiled everynook and cranny and oring etc... then i put it back together and what do u know? it worked and im lovin it more than ever.
