New to timmys, need help plz

[$tevo]

Ok, so i just got a Alias and i cant figure out why it wont shoot on force. i can only dry fire. i cleaned the eyes, everything is lubed, its running between 50-60. i think it has something to do with the bolt, if you have any suggetions, please post them

shoot on force?

[$tevo]

the gun is made to shoot on force mode..but it does not unless i push the bolt foward myself then pull the trigger

[elpimpo]

ummm, do you have paint in it while your trying to shoot it in forced. i know that may be a dumb question, but theyre has to be something that breaks the beam of the eye (dont use your finger, it hurts reall bad) and if you just want to shoot it push the bolt forward and pull the trigger 3 times and this will make it so u can shoot

[$tevo]

yup, i had paint it in..it might be the detents, cause if i dont have a halo in it(but i dont know about it when i do have halo in it) the ball doesnt go all the way down..is there anything i can do about that?

[Torbo]

do you have an adjustable ram cap? probably not. Get one. if the bolt/ram is too far back, the eyes wont see it because itll be behind them. That is most likely the cause. buy one, and follow the directions that comes with it. An excellent model is made my hybrid.

Checked all the basics? Eyes connected,aligned and clean?

'F' shows up in the display? Or does it show an '*' indicating an eye problem?

(You don't need and adjustable cap on an Alias,only if for some odd reason your badly misfeeding using a Halo)

[$tevo]

it starts off with F then it'll show a *

[RRfireblade]

Most likely your eyes are not aligned. Start by taking of the covers,put a sharp bend in the wire leads so when the wires lay flat,they help force the eyes in the hole. Then take a small square of paper about the size of the eye,lay it on top of the eye and put the covers back on.There should now be a SMALL amount of pressure from the eye cover on the eye.See if that works any better.You must use paint to make sure.

will it shoot in standard semi auto mode?
if it does the quit complaining about it not shooting in "force" mode
maybe its called force mode because you need a force fed hopper to shoot it

[elpimpo]

actually it will shoot in forced with a old vieloader gravity hopper, and why shouldnt he complain he just dropped a grand+ on a gun, it damn well better work

[$tevo]

nope..didnt work, i guess ill run to the field really quick, the owner is a timmy tech, so he should be able to do somethin with it. thx for the help, im going to go see if he can help me out, and if he does, ill post up what was wrong with it.

loosen the detents

[$tevo]

well now it lets the balls in..but it still doesnt shoot unless i push the bolt foward then pull the trigger, and the star still comes up..so it has to be the eyes right?

[RRfireblade]

That's not going to help. (in regards to the detents)

It's almost definately alignment. If they're really stubborn you just have to keep playing with the Eye locations till you get it.They must be clean though.

And to everyone else.......Force IS a semi mode w/ eye support.There are only 2,Force and Delay.
