| sorry about this thread not being about a tippmann but i cant get help on the kingman forum. its about a spyder xtra. my xtra doesnt recock after i shoot and the ball only goes about 20 feet maybe 30.i tried adjusting the velocity but it didnt help. oh and its an old 2003 rear cocking one. |

Is your tank full? If your tank is full, the drive spring is the next suspect. ------------- "No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." |

thats because most tippmann people know how to fix practically every gun... and try checking the internals or something like that....might have to replace a spring or something |

When was the last time you broke it down and oiled it? Have you checked to see if all your o-rings are intact.

i took it apart about a week ago and oiled and i replaced the orings about 4 months ago because i bought it broken about 7 months ago and i never really used it so the replacements cant be worn. ive been trying to fix ever since i bought it |

what would it look like if the spring is bad. it was a little bent but i straightined it out. |
Posted By: steveo7576

| ok the spring is really bad. i just took it out and its bent in two places so would a spring of about the same size from a hardware store work. oh and could any one post a pic of the right order of the spring, the star disc thing and white platic thing go in. |

go to a proshop and get a new spring. that way it is the right tension and size. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

same thing happened to my friend one day when we were playing. all of a sudden his gun wouldnt recock and the balls were only shooting abut 20 feet. his gun was a pirahna gti but im thinking its the same problem. he took it to the local shop and all the guy did was take out the cocking bolt and oiled it up and it worked fine. now im not sure how a spyder is put together so you might not be able to take the bolt out without taking the gun apart but im thinking its the same problem, if you havent already tried it. just oil it up all around the bolt and try again. ------------- Tippman 98c flatline Barrel System Electronic Red Dot Sight 98c Car stock HPA tank |

If it shoots 20 feet and doesn't recock, it's the spring. If it shoots perfect and doesn't recock, it's an oring issue, If it shoots ok the first shot, not so good the second, I think that covers the only three possibilities for that marker. |
