Ok, I have had my angel 1 for a few weeks now and only have been able to play once with it due to the ice storm. When I did I was having issues with ball detection and something that felt like FSDO. I wrote off the eye problems that day due to having broken paint in the breech due to the cold (26°).
What was happening was that I would make it live (I generally do not turn off the marker all day) and then when I pulled the trigger I got nothing (and there was paint in the breech). I would then switch off the eyes and give it a few more pulls before I got a shot that dribbled out of the barrel. I would then turn the eyes back on and it would be ok till I let it sit for more than a couple of minutes. Then I would have to go through the whole procedure again. I did put a fresh battery in that morning so the voltage was 9.6 when I started the day.
Now when I am prepping my markers for this weekend as it looks to be nice (in the 50s) I find that I can get off 3 or 4 shots and the marker freezes up. I wait a couple of seconds and I can fire again. If I slow fire I get off a shot a second or two no problem but when I go to fire off a fast string I get the 3 or 4 shot and then nothing... When I turned off the eyes it rips...
At first I thought it might be the new hopper (empire B2) but I have the hopper on speed 6 and the mic on 3 and tension monitor on so it should be good (and in fact it rips on my NXT), I would have tried out the hopper on the G7 Joy but it is down with bad eyes.
Anyone have any ideas?
Shooting winter paint so no breaks today and I did clean it after last play so the eyes are clean and do register paint in the breach when I drop in a ball and register ball in breach when the issue occurs.
