Air problems

[legna]

I am new to angels and i bought an 04 speed used it seems to work great the only problem is it is a major air hog i can just watch the ptressure gauge fall as i shoot. help me out gimmie some tips on fixin this problem.

What are your dwell and lpr set at? Higher dwell=more air consumption. You should try to have your lpr between 60-70psi and dwell around 10 or 11. This will increase gas efficiency a little. Also, paint to barrel match plays the largest role in gas consumption. If your barrel has lots of porting, it will require more gas to reach higher velocities.

Put your dwell at about 14... on a speed 10-11 is WAY to low(got this info from Bob when i called awhile back) and you will starve your marker for air. Run the LPR at about 65.

nope, Ken posted the new 04 speed settings at 10-11 dwell and 70 lpr. these are about the same as the fly settings, but Ken actually specified these for the Speed.

All of the speeds I've seen and including mine have had dwells at 10-11. Never had a problem.

where did Ken actually post the dwell settings? all ive seen is the new LPR settings 60-70.
and i agree with 10-11 im just curious to see the post i missed.

Ken never posted new dwell settings. He only posted new LPR settings... Go look, i was just at that thread where he updated the LPR, and it says nothing about the dwell.

thanks JC (amen) i didnt think it was posted, however i cant be sure i read EVERYTHING.

legna back to your settings, let us know so we can help. i for instance go several games between fills at practice but i also use a 90/45, and fill when i feel like it basically.

§§§§, i couldve sworn i saw it there. I've replied to four or five other threads with that answer. I'll ask Russ when i get time.

If you are all about performance and speed, you wouldn't wanna go above 11 as it will naturally slow down the cycling rate of the gun.

i dropped it down from 75 to 65, but i havent gotten air to test it, will that make a noticable difference?
