new to g7 and confused!

[oldmanblue]

well i have a slight problem with my new g7 fly. i received it yesterday installed a bottom line and read the manual thoroughly, the next day gassed it up and nothing can't get it to shoot paint nad when i figured i would turn off the eyes to see if it would shoot that way i couldn't get the eyes turned off and i followed the manual to the t now i am wondering is my lpr maybe turned up to high? or could it something small? any help from anyone would be nice i love the gun it looks awesome i just hope i can get it to shoot

not to be patronizing or anything but are you sure it is in live mode? also check your trigger activation points because if it isnt set correctly it will not fire.

[oldmanblue]

hey don't worry about sounding patronizing that was an honest point and yes i did make sure i checked that a thousand times and i have played around around with the trigger activation points but how can you tell when its activating?

[samson]

i would back it all the way out and increase your pre and post travel. then dial it in with small increments until you hear the noid click...

[samson]

you will have to keep playin around with it as it may take several tries to get it just right but that is more than likely the problem...hope it helps.

OK, so you got your bottom line hooked up, is the tank a low pressure tank?, the g7 should be ready to go out of the box, to turn the eyes off you just hold the trigger in for a few seconds and to turn them back on either turn the gun off and then back on or put the gun is safe mode and back to live. btw, the lpr should be set at 65 out of the factory,

Actually the best way to set/check your activation points imho is to turn the gun on and put into safe mode. That way you know when the board goes from saying "safe" and displays the serial #(as well as the backlight coming on), opto switch is activated. This tells you your activation point accurately as long as you are delicate and patient. Pull the trigger as slow as possible for best results...................Nate

hey thanks for the help guys got it to shoot! it was the post travel. anywho on to the next question is the tool kit for the g7 fly the same as the one from a 04 speed? just curious cause i put the gauge on and it read 85 i took 6 shots it then dropped to 20 so i added 2 shims and it climbed to 25 i am wondering if the tool kits are the same or me thinks my gauge is poo

[NATERATER]

the lpr gauge works on all angels, other tools are for pre-G7 guns. Asa far as I know there is not a new kit for G7's and up.

[oldmanblue]
