A5 response firing issues

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   hi i have a Tippmann a5 which i bought from ebay it came with a set up response trigger and everything worked perfectly with the exception that it was extremely loud regardless to how the velocity screw was tuned and a week ago it started getting freaky about firing i would go  to fire and it would fire one ball and burst 3 shots of air (the ball comes out on the first shot) and once it finishes it won't fire for about 1 - 2 seconds and the piston on the response slowly pushes forward and there is no pattern of this mishap, it will do it on the first shot or the twentieth
so any thoughts as to why this happens? I've looked at the o-rings and there is no noticeable damage and i oil it with a heavy duty silicone oil that claims to be good for rubber and metal applications and doesn't glob-up with use, also I've tried multiple tanks ( i run on co2), so thoughts?

	first off i would suggest HPA when running a R/T co2 can and will freeze internals and will be a problem down the road but for your problem like ceesman said check the flow control the lil screw on the right side of the marker adjust it to alow the air to flow thru the R/T close it right off first so that your shooting semi only and there is no flow and adjust from there it seem like it may have been opend too much but get back to us if that dosnt solve your problem
