My ir3 ram/valve is sticking

[pip21312]

i bought my Ir3 used at a store a couple of months ago, and i noticed it said oil service reccomended, but the store was out of love juice so i just waited. i played twice and then did some trigger work to shorten the trigger and it seemed to work fine, but i didnt put any paint through it. yesterday i was putting some air through it and it is shooting really slow....and it sounds like the ram is sticking or the valve is sticking. it recocks after about a half a second to a second but it still takes a while to fire again. i looked in the breech and there looks like a little buildup around the hammer but i cant tell if it is lube or bad build up....should i try and clean it up with a q-tip and then put some love juice in it or what can i do?
oh and my dwell is at 15ms.

You have your SOL plug in the wrong slot. Right now it is in the HOP slot. (for intellifeed).

And oil your gun more anyways ;)

If it isnt your SOL being the HOP then you need to check your LPR pressure. As well to clean that gunk out you need to remove the ram and flush it out with some water or something. Dont use a tap though use a syringe if you have one, flushing to much water down there you can get it into the solenoid. The best way is to remove the RAM, LPR and Valve and then use a barrel swab to get the crap out. And if you cant get luv juice use whatever else they have at the shop that is used in high end electro markers you need something in there or else your RAM orings will dry up as will your Valve stems seal. Get some kind of oil in there until you get louv juice. Then throughly clean the the old oil out and put the luv juice in.

Thanks guys ill try it. when i get the love juice should i just squirt some in the hose and then apply a little in the slot under my bolt and fire a couple shots?
