My angel has been chopping so I made a list

[Firebirdracer14]

Ok I made a list of what I am going to do at the field tommarow to make sure my Angel 2005 Speed does not chop this weekend. here it is tell me if I should add anything since the tourny is Sat and tommarow is the last day to get it ripping like an Angel should.

BTW it is mainly barrel chops bc of crappy paint I think but just to be on the safe side im going to do the things on the list.


1.) Setting the ram stroke 2.) Setting the LPR pressure and 3.) Setting the valve dwell.


1. Put 2 drops of love juice into the asa tube
2. Set the ram WHILE AIRED UP until clicking sound can be heard.
3. Set thte lpr 82 psi
4. Set the dwell

Step 4: Setting the valve dwell. One last step and you will be back on the playing field. Your marker should be completely reassembled now. Air-up the marker if it isn't already and head for a chronograph. Fire the marker over a chronograph until it stabilizes at 290 FPS or so, as long as it is consistent.

Now set your valve dwell to the highest setting. This is the least efficient setting. Fire your marker over the chronograph and reduce the valve dwell little by little. You are looking for the velocity to decrease. When the velocity decreases, increase the dwell setting until the velocity returns to the previous setting. Now your marker is at it's most efficient setting.

5. Get rid of bounce.

I realize this is late with respect to your timeline above but 82psi is too high for an 05 speed, I think.

yeah it is. it should be around 65 depending on what works. and you should not put 2 drops in the asa. you should put two drops in the lpr (where you take off the right end cap)

Yea dont put oil in asa becasue it will go thru reg and kinda gunk it up. Much easier to just put it in LPR. Unless you got a JDS LPR :cheers: you grease just one o-ring on the JDS.

Well i have been putting 2 drops of oil in my asa and 2 drops in the small hole when you open the breech for over 2 1/2 years and it did not gunk up my reg.I know Ken recomends not putting oil in asa but i have had no ill effect from it.But i am not a MT.By the way do you use a stock bolt?
