runnin out of gas to soon?

[rebelace12]

I have a AGD flatline 68/3000 and i am only getting about 5 pods or 700shots from it! But there is also a problem with the tank it leaks till it gets to 2500 but still only 700 shots! I have my dwell at 14 and lpr at 100. Any tips?

[MoogLe]

fix the leak? why would it only leak to a certain point, its probably stil leaking but you're not hearing it...

[rebelace12]

nope its not still leakin. It has been at 2500 for well over 3 hours just sittin in my room and in the car.

[MoogLe]

are you sure it leaks down to 2500 and not just goes down because of flash filling? do you actually hear the leak?

[rebelace12]

Yeah you can hear it. I even just put some soap and water on it and it doesnt leak past 2500. A guy at the field today had the same thing happen to his its just a o-ring wearing loose. Its not continuosly leaking its only down to 2500 because the o-ring cant hold back 3000 anymore.

[rebelace12]

there is a o-ring inside the regulator

Get all the air out of your tank, then hunt down the leak. Take apart whatever has a screw in it, and repalce and orings that look worn, or just replace all of em.

[MoogLe]

yea do that, as for your gun getting weak amount of shots out of it, thats just something with your gun i'd say, try lowering the dwell see

[rebelace12]

How low maybe 12?

[MoogLe]

just try them all see if its still shooting well, i shoot mine at 10 with no problems

[rebelace12]

I put it on 10 and ended up getting 1000 shots out of 2300psi which is a considerable difference than 700 yesterday.

[rebelace12]

and i decreased the output pressure on my regulator and it fixed the leak. Because when i opened the valve it started to leak again and i noticed the output pressure was 950 so i decreased it to 800 and it stopped leaking.

[MoogLe]

heheh just make sure your not chopping more now that your dwell is lower, but yea that sounds good :)

[garyc_kw]

drop your output pressure to 650 psi and try it again dude,
i thought the recommended input pressure was in the region of 650 - 750?
the twiddle your dwell bud.

[MoogLe]

now that i think of it yea his pressure does seem high, i put mine at 750 tops

[rebelace12]

ok yeah it was choppin a little bit but thats because i had the mrof on 20 and had a 12v on it and was doing about 15bps. But when i was shootin slow it wasnt choppin at all. Seemed to be quieter too. I changed output to 650.

[MoogLe]

yea just turn on your cops and you should be fine, and as for turnin down the output did you check it over chrono to see if your fps is still reasonable?

[rebelace12]

Dont have a chrono at my house. I was judging it by a tree i have in my yard at it was shootin the same maybe a little bit slower.

[rebelace12]

How many shots does a angel get per psi? Does anyone know?

Its just like any marker, it kinda depends on how you have alot of things set. Like is the LPR set right, is the Ram and snap ring set properly, what your dwell is at, and your velocity. Also what type of bolt can change your effeciency. But the most important can be paint-to-barrel match.

All that can effect your effeciency.
