| So i am shooting my mechanical Phenom and onceI lay into it trying to shoot fast I get an air drop off. Meaning the first 2-3 shoots are fine and the next few are shooting 5 feet out of the barrel in front if me. Its been cleaned greased etc, but I am still having the same issue. |

Okay, first question, are you running a remote? Second question, are you using CO2 or HPA? ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Okay, do you know if your HPA tank is a high pressure output tank or a low pressure output tank? Secondly, have you had the marker disassembled yet? If so, did you lube the o-rings for the flex-valve with Tippmann gun grease or dow-33? Or did you use regular marker oil? Sorry for all the questions, but differential diagnosis online is a bit tough sometimes. If it was with the remote line, I'd have guessed that there was a blockage issue with the on/off on the remote and would have had you turn the on/off all the way on and then back it off 1/4 to 1/2 turn. But since it's not, we have to look at the tank's output pressure, the flex valve, and potentially, the recharge rate. I'll pull the mech phenom I have out of storage and go over it with a fine tooth comb to see if I can't figure out what it could be if we don't get this figured out by this afternoon. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

| The HPA tank is a 88/4500, not sure what the output is. I used the grease that came with the marker when I tore it down after the issue. IT was late and dark so I will fire it again once I get off work today. |

Drop-off like you're experiencing is usually related to a regulator or valve not recharging quickly. I'd try the tank on a different marker and see how it does. If you see drop-off, we know it's the tank, if not, then it's the marker. As I said, I'll open up the mech phenom I have at the house tonight and see if I can't find some areas where it might be affecting the recharge rate. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.
