why doesnt the angel shoot at 240 fps !?

[steven]

Ok heres my problem , yesterday i went to my local field to start practicing for a tournement thas is scheduled for March , but everybody was practicing with 240 FPS , so i had the angel already set on 280 FPS , and i just started lowering down the tank ( the tasnk i was using was a PMI high pressure tank with regulator so i can tell it how much output i want on it , so basically it is working kind of a low pressure tank righ ? ) well i just lowerd the output pressure to about 200 and when i started shooting it had various problems.
1 - ok it was shooting at 240 FPS BUT every 5 shots the angel board would just reset like if i turned it off and ON again.
2 - Some shots would go fine but suddenly some went slowers than the others.
3 - i was using a view loader ( those that feed 12 bps and i had the angel set on medium hopper so i dont think that was the problem )basicly its that some balls shot slower than the others in 240 , and that the angel board just kept turning off and on every 5 to 10 consecuitive shots.

how recemtly have you charged it... also instead of doing that crastic of a change, lower the dwell 1 or 2 settings and adjust your input... this way the gun isnt upset as much on pressure....

hmm well the day before yesterday i had it charging during the hole day.. so do you think that the turning off problem has to do something with the battery or does it also has a relation with me using a PMI tank ( high pressure ) well i dont see something wrong with the tank cause it has a regulator so i just set the output pressure.

ok crashdan later when i get home ill try lowering the dwell and ill adjust the input to see if it works :peace:

[crashdan]

but that wont do anything for teh resetting... only time that ever happened to me was a dead battery... but if you charged it, check all of teh board connections for wobble or anything

well this is what happend i adjusted the input pressure in the tank to around 300 but the shot where way to high .. 300 fps , so i lowerd it to 240 in the regulatos and the shots where like really slow , some shot fine but the others shot like if i had only little gas in the tank.. do you think this could be tank problem ? should I buy a lower pressure tank instead of having this whigh pressure one with the regulator ? :again:

ok today i went to the field and shot the angel with a Jave High pressure tank BUT with regulator so theres no problem i think. so i startes shooting ( like about 250 FPS ) and this is what happend.. if i shot 1 by 1 the shots where perfect !! , but if i started to shoot faster the ball went down ( from where I was standing they started to go down like 5 feets away from me ) and i heard something inside like sucking a lot of air ( i think it was the valve or something ) but it was something like this

when you shoot it should go pa,pa,pa,pa,pa,a (just an example hehe )
but when i shot i went like pa,pa,pa,uffff,ufff ,pa, pa ( the uff are the balls when they startes to get slower and i heard the valve suking a lot of air.. maybe my settings for the gun are wrong ? or is it the tank :notsure:
