ion problem

ok.....

I just got a brand new stock ion a couple of days ago

I put the battery that came with it into the gun and programmed it to the recomended settings for a ion without QEV(according to the ionwners forum)

I got my egg(with brand new duracel batteries) and put it on my gun, put my pure energy 47/3000 tank on and put some some balls in the hopper

I turned on my ion and it began to blink rapidly (which means theirs a ball in the breech

I began to shoot but its like the bolt doesn't have enough power to shoot the ball and the sound of the gun sounded like it was muffled or something....then the balls get all clogged up in the barrel

I have no idea whats wrong

andybody know?

Recommended settings for Ion without QEV
First set your dwell to 46 blinks from the bottom.

   1. Push the programming button multiple times until it is on solid red
   2. Push the power button repeatedly until the yellow led does not blink anymore. You have now bottomed out the dwell.
   3. Push the programming button multiple times until it is on solid yellow
   4. Push the power button 46 times

Then set your recharge to 0 blinks from the bottom.

   1. Push the programming button multiple times until it is on single blink red
   2. Push the power button repeatedly until the yellow led does not blink anymore. You have now bottomed out the recharge.
   3. Push the trigger to exit programming mode.
   4. Turn the ion off to record the settings to memory. Just pulling the battery will not save the settings to memory.

^thats what I did...it doesn't sound like its leaking

the bolt didn't seem clogged

and thats my other ion in my sig...I just bought a new one since the price drop

oh...ok

I'll try that....but I really don't think its the battery unless smartparts sent me a dud

ok...i'll do that

and post later if it works or doesn't...or if all else fails I'll take it to my pro shop

but thnx...

please write a link to the ion forum

Make sure the input pressure is around 180-185: MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T GO ABOVE 200, or else you will damage the noid:, put in a fresh battery, and make sure the eyes are connected and not covered by gunk

Ions have guages, Im an idiot.
