    Xmag Electro Problems

    Alright AO, I here is my dilema. I pulled out my Xmag a couple of days ago so that I could play today and I was devistated to realize that for some reason it worked in Manual mode but not the same in Electro. I have the 3.2 software and the board turns on. At first I thought it was a battery problem so I charged it and that seemed to help for about two hundred shots. Then I thought that maybe my charger was shot so I tried my gun with two other batteries that my teamates had and the same problem existed. The ACE is set at 0 because I was shooting it with no paint, and the hall effect sensor is reading just fine (found out by the trigger off and trigger on with the 3.2 software). Today, I switched out the springs on my level 10 to a smaller one and it seemed to work for a little bit, but now it is back to the same problem. You can still hear the solenoid clicking when it does not fire, and when there is little air (less than 500) it does cycle. Anyone have any Idea?

      x-mag problem

      As far as the wont shoot below 500 psi that is normal the valve uses a 450 psi working pressure and any thing below that you wont get a cycle, as for the gun not shooting try and adjusting your trigger to where you have a little longer pull something like where you can pull the trigger back 5 to 7 mm at least before the HES activates and make sure that when you use your gostrider mode that it also has plenty of room to allow the HES to turn off sometimes they are not in the same place exactly, I had this same problem and it turned out to be the trigger was just tuned incorrectly. Check it out and let me know. Good luck.

        It will cycle when it is below 500 in emode (not shoot, but the valve will finally move somewhat). My trigger is pretty long but I will make it longer and see if that helps. Anyone else have any other ideas?

          I made the trigger longer, but I dont have air to test it out. Could you please explain why this would affect the Emode after a certain amount of shots? I dont mean to sound hasty, but I just want to know everything I can about this problem. Thank you

            trigger

            the trigger could be to close to the HES and not actualy turn it on, i dont think that the HES could change in it's sensitivity but i suppose it is posible, could also be movement of screws from vibration.

              try oilling your on/off with several drops of oil. you might even want to take it completely appart and oil it up real good.

              you'd be surprised at how often the on/off not having enough oil is the problem. I had problems a while back that were very similar to this with my brothers emag. after trying a bunch of things i finally saw a thread saying oil it, i did and it worked

                I had somewhat of a similar problem where my x-mag sould sometimes just not shoot even if I put it in mech mode.
                The problem was that my removeable breech sat a tiny bit off in the gun which added a little bit more friction to the bolt which made it incapable of firing.

                Take out your breech to see if there is wear starting to show up on one side more than another... I then used a fine piece of sandpaper to lightly sand the inside of the breech and that seemed to have fixed my problem.

                  Its all good

                  Problem fixed. It turns out that there was a blown capacitor on the eye board. Thanks to everyone for their help and I hope that this helps other people.
