I was out practicing the other day with my team and my Speed did something odd. I would shoot 3 or 4 shots and I would get a shot to drop off this happened a couple of time. Then I got a shot that 3 balls came out. This happened every 3rd time that I got the drop off shot. This has happened to me before, but only when my tank gets around 500psi and it was still at 1000psi when this was happening. The only thing that I changed in my setting was my dwell. It was at 13 for the longest time then I bumped it up to 14 and played with it there a couple of times. Then I brought it back down to 13 before practice. I took my gun home and wiped off and lubed the lpr, ram, and mini-reg. Tested it and around 1000psi it started to act like it did before at 500 psi. My tank is a Crossfire low pressure 70/4500. The only accessories I have for performance is a angle force volumizer and a a-4 bolt. I don't hear anything leaking. Any help would be great.

the only thing i can think of (with my limited experience) is that you have some kind of choked flow somewhere, which means the ram isn't getting enough air to fully recock or fire which means that the valve isn't opening very much which would lead to drop off or multiple balls in the chamber. when you reassembled the mini-reg, lpr, or ram, something might not have got seated correctly and so isn't moving perfectly choking the flow. try taking it apart again, and reassembling. i guess you could check your detents too to make sure you're not double feeding... good luck

Actually I think that I found my problem and it isn't with my marker at all. I think my tank gauge is messed up. I can push the pin down and no air comes out but my gauge says there is around 800psi still in my tank.
