    Posted: 07 March 2008 at 9:38am
I just bought my Carbon Fiber Barrel for my 98 Custom and I was shooting it...Well trying to shoot it. It would shoot like there was no C02 in it. So I put the Co2 tank on my dad's Spyder MR1 and it shot fine. I messed with the velocity screw thinking that it might be doing me wrong and it wasn't. I put the same CO2 tank again in the Triumph. Shot fine. So does this mean there is something wrong with the intake or whatever between my 98 and the CO2 tank? I also tried my other one and all the guns shot fine and mine didnt.

Any idea what is going on?

Did the marker work okay before you put the new barrel on it?

If you put the old barrel back on it, does it work?

Yea I tried Just now and it still isn't working. I dont think that a barrel could affect it can it??? Plus I put the barrel on my triumph and it worked fine.

well i think the best suggestion would be to take your gun apart, clean everything, lube it back up then c if it works then. If it still doesnt work then check for leaks

the hose for starters, u may have a bad powertube as well, its quite a vague description that u gave so im naming off some possibilties off the top of my head, what does the gun sound like when u shoot it, a sputter?

Make sure you have both valve screws in all the way.

you should usually clean and oil your gun after your done playing paintball for the day, its good to do so your internals wont wear down over time, speaking of which i need to do that for the new parts i put in mine
