 Need help in resolving spiking issue.
I’ve been trying to resolve this issue for a while and have been methodical about it so far. Now I am at a dead end and need help. My marker fires within acceptable fps limits for the first few shot and then there is +/- 10 fps spike, then back to normal and then again a spike. The setup is :- Pure Energy 69/4500
- Palmer Inline Stab apprx set 700 psi. Connected to bottle then remote.
- FVA mod done. RVA pretty much all the way in.
- Red Maddman springs.
- Smooth internals. Not polished to glass like quality. But removed paint and finely sanded to smoothness.
- Newer X7 type valve (came stock)
What I have done so far. - Tried shooting with above setup and got spikes.
- Removed the Stab and remote and connected bottle directly to ASA. Got higher FPS but still same spiking deviations.
- Used a Freak setup on above both tests. Changed barrels entirely and still spikes.
- Took the bottle and put it on my Epiphany and it works just fine.
- Same paint in Epiphany and it works fine.
- Used stock springs and still spiking.
So at this point I am lead to believe that the problem is one of two things : - Paint ( maybe higher psi is causing problems not seen in Epiphany setup)
- Marker itself.
Assuming it is not paint. What else inside the marker could cause these deviations. I have checked and rechecked everything. All O-rings are intact and lubed to the gills. Everything is smooth as far as I can tell. The whole marker is bolted tight only to finger tightness so I can get free bolt movement.  |
