Can anyone tell me the propper pressures for an Autococker? I have a high pressure tank but what should the LPR running on. Im not sure if its my barrel,paint or gun but paintballs wont even make it across my yard. Its at 240psi in the LPR. Should I increase that. I have a game on thursday and on sunday...Please help

I believe the operating pressure varies depending on the model, what model is it? -------------

It varies, you have to tune the regs. My LPR is around 80psi I think, and my secondary reg, 380psi. It varies from gun to gun though, Iv got an old 2k which is why it may seem high. LPR should just be so it can fully cock with the highest, or necessary spring tension. Tune em up! http://cockertech.com/how_sweetspot.shtml - http://cockertech.com/how_sweetspot.shtml -------------

It really does depend on the particulars of your gun, including your bolt, your valve, your hammer, etc. You set the in-line reg first. 350 psi or so is a good place to start, and should run most cockers. If your pressure is WAY too high you might hurt some components (unlikely), and if your pressure is too low nothing will happen at all. Most people like to tweak the in-line pressure as low as they can for performance reasons, but the gun will run fine at a variety of pressures. The LPR settings vary even more - I wouldn't even bother with a gauge, since you really have to set it by feel. For mech cockers, the the lower the better. Like triggerhappy said, you want it at the lowest pressure where it cycles smoothly. This will minimize chops. For electro cockers you may want higher pressure to decrease cycle time, and you won't need to worry about chops if you have eyes.
