He said "performed and felt wonderful" so I'm guessing he means the girlfriend...

one of the funniest comments on AO in a while

About your mini or your girlfriend??

I don't need a girlfriend, my wifes makes me happy enough.

Autococker on the barrel, but have no idea about the feedneck or detents. Works well so I have no intention of changing them.

I've had mine for two weeks and it hasnt worked yet. It gushes air down the barrel. I lube the heck out of it, make sure the poppett is clean, assemble it correctly and it still wont run. Ive poured through the help pages on PBN and watched all the maintenance videos, still no go.

I actually got it to fire once this afternoon then it went into full auto mode at a weak velocity.

It sounds like I got one of the few bad ones, but I am very disappointed. Im fairly handy, am not afraid to take it apart to fix it, but I have worked on this thing for hours and am getting pissed.

Mini

check your board version..

And I think one of the posts over on PBN had the same exact problem - seem to think he complete disassembled the gun,a nd then put it all back together and it worked fine.

If I find the link I'll post it over here.

There just are not a lot of parts to the gun to have a problem with, so it either needs to go back, or it's something simple like clicking the noid 50 times or something.

Thanks, but I spend a helluva lot of time in the Invert forum on PBN. I've probably seen the thread. (if not created it)

I agree that there arent enough parts for anything to be seriously wrong. Its one reason why I am so frustrated.


Paintball Solutions is apparently sending me a shipping label tomorrow. They said to send it in.

It doesnt make me much happier...but I guess a working Mini after a months delay is better than no Mini at all

I have not been able to get a decent answer as to what people are accomplishing by "resetting the solenoid" with 50 clicks. Either the solenoid is reset or its not. Are they supposing that sometime in the 50 clicks the fault goes away never to return? I dont buy into that. If the solenoid is faulty, its faulty, and the problems will likely return.

I hate to hear about all these problems. Hopefully as they become more mainstream all that will be corrected. I am impressed enough at the moment that so long as it stays together my other markers will have to wait.....

Have you tried clicking the noid? there's no need to click it 50 times, its not a magical number. But Manike himself told us that sometimes the noid needs to be reset. Turn on the gun without eyes or air, pull the trigger a few times. Than screw in your tank. If that doesnt help, you may just have a defective Mini.

Have you taken the solenoid apart? I was having similar issues until I tightened the solenoid screws.

[RT Old School]

I was under the impression that the solenoid was the lowest replaceable unit, and that if it was bad, you just ordered a new one. I have not taken apart. I probably wont since PBS is taking it back to get up and running.
