Getting My C3 Working Again.

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

Just pulled the thing out of the closet. I haven't used it since i bought it when it first came out. When i first started working on it today, i couldn't get the trigger to pull (as shown in the first video). I've taken what i think would be the left receiver and moved the trigger assembly around and put in a fresh battery and it's clicking.

However it keeps showing a spark in a different spot (as shown in the second video). Is this normal? Then i observed that when i put the left reciever back on the spark noise got even louder. I think it's now sparking off that somehow. Should i wrap everything up in electrical tape?

What do you think i need to do to this to get it working again? Aside from the linkage arm and Banjo fitting. 

Thanks in advance and a Merry Christmas to all!

	The banjo fitting is the same used for a lot of paintgun stuff. It's used for the cyclone feed air lines and others, so your local shop should be able to get you a replacement. The sparking is a bit odd. There should be an o-ring that fits into the sparker between it and the reciever. Is it still on there?

	I'd send it in ton get serviced by Tippmann. The C-3 being propane powered i'd let the Techs crack at it. Check the costumer support links on the Tippmann page.
