I've had my tippy for 2 years, it's a 98 Custom with Response Trigger, Cyclone Feeder, Super R/T adapter kit, 10-32 QEV, JCS Jet Click Ratchet... i just put a brand new stock power tube in it... i've put two different rear bolts in it... and it doesn't matter if i have the velocity turned down to 270 or not, i can't control the flow valve for the response trigger... and the hammer just goes rapid fire on it's own... oh, and the T-valve to the Super R/T kit keeps freezing up... anyone know where i need to go from here to get my gun back to firing properly?  is it the internal valve? or the o-rings maybe?

Adjusting the velocity won't affect the hammer. The freezing is from liquid
CO2 entering the gun and is caused by the rapid fire "burp".

You should check to see if your sear is worn down and also the hammer o-
ring. Check to make sure you have the R/T sear spring installed and not the
stock sear spring.

With all the extra stuff you are running, you ae drawing a lot of extra air. Either find a way to keep from syphoning CO2, or switch to HPA.

^^^^ Such as a remote or expansion chamber.

You might also want to take everything down to stock to see if you have the same issues to rule out if it is one of the add ons causing the issue. Add one mod on at a time and test.
