I need help fixing a 98 custom. Its been sitting up for a while and the other day I went and filled up all my co2 tanks. I hooked one of them up and cocked it back and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. No air came out or anything. It was like i was pulling the trigger without a tank hooked up. Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks in advance for all the help

Make sure the air lines aren't obstructed. When you screw the tank on, can you hear the marker airing up? You should be able to tell if there is air coming out of the tank into the marker. If it is, it sounds like your valve could be stuck. Was the marker particularly dirty when you put it away? Have you ever disassembled it to clean it? Take the marker apart and check the valve pin. Can you depress it with your finger? Did you store the marker cocked?

your drive spring may be weak if this is the case just stretch it out (a lil at a time dont stretch large parts of the spring as u might make it to strong and it will depress the valve spring) hope you can fix the problem

edit i dont thik i told you but if the drive spring is to weak it wont open the valve therefore no air to cycle the gun and shoot the gun
