	gee, after reading this entire thread thread three times, why didn't i think of that....maybe i should check that....oh wait, i already did, three times... i know your used to ppl coming onto this forum that are perty clueless, but i do maintain now 9 guns, only two of which are the same. I'm a fairly experienced mechanically minded person, who through all my efforts, and observations cannot solve this problem. If it were as simple as a bent linkage arm, i would not have even looked at replacing ANY parts as i would have straightend it and the gun would have worked, and i never would have posted anything. I have disassembled this gun (including the main valve body) more than once, and reassembled, trying to see a cause. The only thing i can see is that this gun is not designed as well (in the rear hammer area) as the 98. But i'm at a loss and frankly fed up and tired of dealing with it. next?

	I've been having the same problem with one I am repairing for a friend, it had a leak but it cycled fine so I rebuilt it and then I had the problem, just found on another site that a common cause of problems is the main valve stop, a small square of metal 1/4"x1/4"x1/8" falls out the bottom of the marker when the marker is disassembled that holds the valve from moving back and forth in the receiver so the hammer makes proper contact with the valve, I'm now going to tear this place apart to see if I can find it, just a thought I found on another site that might be the missing piece of the puzzle

	last 2 things I found that finally got the one I'm working on working right, the red colored front bolt o-ring I got with the tippmann o-ring kit from my local store was way too tight of a fit to the receiver causing too much drag I swapped it for one from my A-5 parts kit and that helped out, but it still would double fire and sometimes keep running, I found the sear was rounded out a bit and ground it back to a nice sharp edge and put it back together and now finally it works right

	Yeah, i'm definately not missing that square piece, and i think i replaced the orings on everything when i first took it apart, but i'll go ahead and check again. I'll check the sear, but i'm really not looking forward to trying to wrangle that drive spring back into place again.... (oddly, now my 98, and Spyder are having the same problem)

	you don't have to touch the main spring to check either part, just take the rear sight off and pull the link and then remove the barrel to get to the bolt, and i checked the o-ring fit just by using the link from the top to move the bolt back and forth, and as far as the sear just pull the handle off and no need to play with the main spring, I can't help with the 98 or spyder too much, only worked on one spyder and it's about the same as any blow back marker, the only thing i can think of for the 98 is if you either have a response trigger or the cyclone feed installed they can cause the problem as well as after market power tubes, i've had both give me that problem with my A-5 but don't forget the simple things, make sure the tank is screwed in far enough/not too far as either one can cause a problem with the gas pressure, and make sure the main springs and sears aren't worn round, good luck
