Is my valve bad???

[raynoslo]

I checked my lpr adjustment and it is at 85psi. I have a crossfire red preset, I think that it is at about 800-850psi. I set my mini reg at about 700 psi. I don't have a chrono but I've been having consistency problems at the field chrono. When I am checking the lpr adjustment I'll fire it at about 10 bps and it starts sounding different and wont charge fast enough. when I shoot it at that speed the gauge drops below 65-70psi and wont return to 85psi fast enough. Does anyone know what is wrong? I'm guessing it needs a new valve. any help would be apreciated. :confused:

sounds to me like a blown lpr,

but before that try cleaning the reg and the lpr

I could be wrong but I am assuming since the lpr is not returning fast enough either your minireg is not recharging fast enough or you lpr isn't recharging fast enough.... I would suggest cleaning and replacing the oring in both and then relubing the lpr and minireg and try things again... generally if a gun is not starved and recharge is a problem alot of times it is gas leaking past the piston o-rings. If this doesnt work I am not sure what to tell you... I suppose the valve could be leaking BUT if it were you would hear a leak... you can test this by putting soapy water on the valve area in the breach ...Hope this helps

you need the LPR gauge found in the tool kit
