Hi,

I've had my Alpha Black/Bravo One for a while now and went over to using a remote airline. I've noticed that the marker sometimes fires just fine, but when i want to hammer the trigger a little the marker fizzles out as if the tank was empty. A few seconds later it fires normally. I thought it was a block in the pipe but air seems to pass through fine.

Any thoughts?

Martyn

Easy fix, the issue is that you are blocking the airflow through your remote on/off adapter by screwing the knob down too tight.  The pin in the adapter pushes down the pin in your tank valve.  If it goes too far the air gets blocked by the pin in the on/off adapter.  Simply back off the knob by 1/2 turn and test.  This should solve your issue.  If it doesn't, look for other restrictions in the remote.

Hi,

Awesome - i'll try that. I always tightened it right down thinking that was the right thing to do. Now i know not to!

Thanks very much.

Martyn.
