Hi, I got a 98C. Recently, I put a Cyclone feed system on it, and also install the QEPH, Vortex and Lightening rod mods After all beeing assembled, I took my marker and started firing a few shots with it. My Cyclone works perfectly until... after a few rapid shots, it begins to smell fire (like if it was burning), I dissassembled it, but all is in place. So, can it be caused by the gun lube, that I put instead of the grease or any other reason?
Thank you for your help! -From a guy who's desesperate and needing to see his marker working. |
. After having installed them in my Cyclone, I wasn't having any grease, so I took some gun lube and put it in.

Could be. The friction of the parts rubbing together may be heating up the oil or something. Grease is going to provide a slicker surface, so go out and get some Dow 33 or 55 and slap some in there. Your english is interesting, too. Where are you from? |

| The spelling is better than that of most of the native english speakers on this forum, but some of your word placement is intriguing. I'm not knocking you; it's just an observation. |

Yeah, you definitely need a good grease for the Vortex Mod. I use Super Lube. It is a teflon-based grease that works great. ------------- A-5 Armson DOT Sight Armson Raised Sightrail DOP Bullet Drop DOP RVA DOP X-Core DOP Vertical Adapter E-Grip(APE) Flatline Barrel HPA JCS Duel Trigger Lightening Bolt QEPH Vortex Mod |

Yea a teflon lube would be the best because it dries hard and is nice and slik. And its not flamable like regular gun oil. |
