Question about oiling automag and possible problem

[DaBomb2704]

I just inherited an automag and the manual said to drip 4-6 drops of oil into the air inlet, is this where the CO2 enters the valve. Another thing, I was firing some old paintballs and once in a while my automag would fire two paintballs at once. Is this the paintball's problem or my mags problem?

Thanks,
Tom

The easiest way to send some oil thru is to put a few drops in the ASA before you screw your tank on. Cycle it a few times w/out the barrel on. The double feed may be small balls and/or bad detents. Try some fresh paint, if there's still a problem get some new plastic detents, you barrel probably still had older metal ones.

umm...i'm kinda new into maintaining paintball markers...can you tell me what part the asa is?

That is the female threaded part that the male threaded bottle screws into. No sexual inuendos intended, sorry.
