I was just wondering if any one else had a problom with their tippmann 98 custom velosity screw. my problem was that i think one time i screwd it in to far and it broke,and now when i screw it far in it runs out of threds and falls into the power toob. so i think im going to replace the  power toob.

You probably screwed it in so far that you popped the threads out of the power tube.  Here's a tip.  When you feel lots of resistance, STOP SCREWING IT IN.  Don't know why you'd need your velocity that low anyway...

Before you do buy the new tube, I suggest purchasing a dictionary.  You never know, it might come in handy

mx first off welcome to the forums secondly to see if your power tube is stripped out just split the gun and remove the screw look into the threaded hole and see if the threads are damaged, if they are and the gun is under warranty just call tippmann they'll send you one free of charge

 

schnappi, go easy on the new guy, you're low on the post count too how would you like it if someone flamed the crap out of you for misspelling a few words?

I may have a low post count on this forum, but I've been around the Internet quite a few times.  I think I've earned the right to mock people who are bright enough to use a computer and a web browser, yet have the grammatical capabilities of an eight year old.  Besides it's teh funnay!1

Number 1 : I was a "jerk" because our dear friend schanppi seems to think hes funny enough to attack newbs. That is a behavior that is not tolarated. Attacking out of frustration is one thing, because its "funny" is a whole nother story.

Number 2 : Post count is an indication of nothing at all. There are standard memebers that have been here half as long as me with twice as many posts and other regualrs that have been here for much longer then me with only a few more posts then you. Post count is worthless.

no no no no you misunderstood me i was refering to schnappi's comment earlier, i was refering to him as the jerk. sorry about the confusion i have waaaay more respect for you (because of all the help you give and the good natured manner you give it) than i have for some guy that flames people because "he has earned the right" again sory for any confusion i should have came across clearer

Yeah, take your powertube out and check the threads, if in fact they are stipped. See if you can get a new one......*remembers needing to get valve replaced*

yeah way to make people feel welcome. how do you expect young people to treat others with respect (in forums, on the field, or in life) if the people they look to for advise treat them like that?
