How low pressure is your tank? In the 500psi output or less ballpark? If so, I believe you will or, at least, a custom equivalent. If you mean 800-850 then, you should be fine. ------------- M98C- W/QwkStrpCut Comp Air & Palmer Fatty Stab Gas-Thru Stock Lapco Sight Rail W/ADCO 30MM EDOT Qloader W/ CMS Freak SS W/Stif-Tip * Flatline * Armson Stealth |

hey whats up I am having issues with my setup. I figure here is a good place as any to post I have ... a-5 flatline barrel male palmers regulator.. crossfire HPA tank - 68/4500 high pressure LPK E trigger/ APE board. clippard QEV + fittings my issue is that I previously used to run the gun with a response trigger + co2. I just recently changed over to HPA + LPK + E trigger. The only issue I am having is that I cant regulate the pressure going into the gun. I try to adjust the regulator to no avail. I dont know if I am getting exessive pressure coming into the gun from the tank or something because previously I was able to adjust the pressure with a co2 tank. Is there some sort of reset to do when going from co 2 to HPA. I plan on cleaning out regulator and oil it up tommorrow. Let me know if you have sugestions. thanks Here is a link to a video for palmers regulator maintenance if anyone has questions. http://media.putfile.com/Palmer-Stabilizer-How-To |

Mr. Stick, How long have you been playing paintball with this marker? Have you never been told where the button is located that lets you switch between CO2 and HPA? First learn where those controls are located on your marker, then come back and ask specific questions. As for taking it apart and oiling it, Man, you are in uncharted waters there. If I were you I'd send it back to Palmer Pursuit to make sure its is done right. And oil in your regulator! What are you trying to do? Blow it up??? I would suggest you do a forum search to find that conversion button location and a little of the dangers of fiddling with machinery about which you know little. Note you'll see two Palmers on my marker and I have never been able to figure them out!

What Frank said. And, moreover, even if you do get the LPK, you will still want a high pressure tank for better performance. It will work with a LP tank, but HP will be better for 99% of Tippmanns. |

I keep hearing that LPK's are very bad for A-5's since they NEED quite a bit of pressure to also power the Cyclone Feeder, I would strongly suggest going HPA instead of LPA, Not sure if I'm right but Low-Pressure Rating is normally 300-500 which your current one with (C02) is about 800 PSI and up ------------- Tippmann A-5 -Shocktech Drop -Super R\T -QEV -JCS Powertube -BT Sight -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.
