View Full Version : A1 cycles but doesn't make the shot

My A1 has about 18,000 shots on it now.
Has a new LPR-spool in it, checked all the o-ring and changed where needed.
Cleaned and lubed it where needed too.

Just bought a new Guarrilla Air Myth Reg with Low Pressure. Supposedly set like the one Max from Joy has. Don't have gauges to test it though.

It is like impossible to send it to a MT because I am in the Caribbean, Curacao to be precise.

Any help would be greatly appriciated,

check all your pressures, its most likely one of them is low. If you dont have the guages you really need to order some since you wont be sending yoru gun to an MT.

Not to change the subject, but I have an old friend who lives in Curacao... check your PM's.

I have exactly the same problem. I should be talking to Ken shortly, I'll let you know how it goes. I also have about 18,000 cycles on mine with new replaced internals.

Also, whats your serial number? Is it an earlier model?

Is the solenoid making any noise except the clicking when you pull the trigger like theres air in it but won't shoot any balls BC thats what mine did and it was BC I over tightened the solenoid and had to get a new one? LMK if this is any help?

Sounds Like The 14 Way Gasket Is On Upside Down. Please Check This If You Have Had It Apart !

No Ken, it started to do that by itself not after a taking apart of the gun.

One of my friends has had the same problem. The gun would cycle and not fire, all the balls would just roll out the barrel. We found that the valve stem was the culprit. The valve stem actually fell apart when we removed it.

Today I had a fruitfull conversation with Fraz and together we (hopefully) found the cause.
In the picture you can see the wear on the valve stem and the "plastic" ring.

New parts are ordered and when they arrive I can post the results here.

I have the same issues with my A1. Except when I placed the valve dwell to 9.0 it would fully cycle. If i go lower than that, it won't cycle till i finally start ripping the trigger. I have a new LPR that's waiting for me.

That is exactly what the valve stem looked like.

Is that nylon piece somehow attached to the valve (i.e. glue) or does it just slide over the center?

Good question Baja, I think it slides over the center.

Hmmm. All this is news too me. I'm still having the same problems everyone is talking about and I just had all my of internals updated, at least I think so. This is beginning to make me really nervous, although Ken said he'd give me a call sometime soon. I'll let you guys know how things turn out.
