Anything I can do to make my 'mag feed paint better?

[hobbesTZ]

I've been having troubles with my newest 'mag. It has the RT valve and a powerfeed body. When I use it with my Revvy I ocasionally get one of the balls stuck on the powerfeed plug (non-parabolic)and it will stop shooting until I twist it around a bit. When I tried my Halo on it, the problem was even worse. Is there anything I can do with the plug I have to make it feed better? Would the Halo even work well on the powerfeed with the wire nubbin detent? It's been randomly chopping paint as well. Could the plug be the cause?

Convert it to vert feed...?

[MisterBones25]

replacing the plug would be a cheaper solution, otherwise im not sure

[onedude36]

If it is the non-parabolic plug, that could cause feeding problems. I would just go ahead and buy a new plug or a ule body. Do you have a lvl 10? the revy may not be fast enough, and the halo could push paint past your detents, resulting in it shooting two balls at once or a big gob of paint. Hope I helped

The plug is your problem. Replace it and you'll be fine Trust me

[hobbesTZ]

I was looking for a quicker solution so I could use it tomorrow.

[personman]

Well, maybe if you are skilled enough with elmers glue, you can make it parabolic? I donno, but I'm pretty sure its the plug. Especially since the halo was worse on it.

[hobbesTZ]

What about sanding it to try and round it out better?

You should be able to get a p/f plug at the filed and it shouldn't be more the a couple of bucks

[hobbesTZ]

The field I'm going to doesn't have this sort of thing. Is the problem that the plug goes into to far or not far enough?

Neither. The problem with the old plugs is that there is a flat spot. Power feed plugs should be perfectly curved (ie parabola) in order for the balls to feed right. Otherwise they get caught up on that flat spot. They get caught up more with a halo because the halo is pushing the balls into that flat spot. All you need to do is figure out how to make the flat spot go away.

Or you could buy a parabolic plug

[hobbesTZ]

I will, but I can't get one for tomorrow.

[hobbesTZ]

Would a piranha P/F plug be any better?

[personman]

Look and see if it has a flat spot. I know the one on my rebel has a flat spot.

If its rounded and fits, then it should work. The length might be a little off though.

if you want no chops ever and have some extra cash then get a level 10 and a ule body (or an emag center feed) or get an classic mag body for it.

the cheap solution is to sand it down so it feeds right, and the other other cheap solutiion is to get a new plug.
