Speed/Sensi Problems

[Pbnonstop]

I would just like to say before anything thing that this gun rips. I have not chopped yet, but i don't think sensi is working properly. At the beggining of the day, it was not reading paint because it was only allowing me to shoot like 3bps (mode 2) and then i would get a good stream and then back to 3 bps. So i turned it off for the day and it didn't chop all day, i have a halo. Now that i have gotten home i went outside to put some paint through it, and it lets me rip with sensi on mode 2, but i was getting dry shots in between, and when i ran out of paint it was still firing as fast as ever. I think my first problem was fixed by me cleaning off the sensi rod, and the whole it was in (using a q-tip). I am not chopping, but it shouldn't be shooting that fast when i am out of paint should it? I have searched, but have not found any results. Links to somewhere i could find an answer would be great.

Thanks in Advance

fully charge the marker twice.

[Pbnonstop]

I charged the marker as soon as i recieved it, should i charge it two more times or just one more?

[SkeL]

Once. Have you tried the drop test?

[Pbnonstop]

Before i cleaned the sensi off, it would read 9/10, not sure about now. I am charging it and will test it out tommorow at the field.

mine passed the drop test but sensi still did not work till i gave it another 4 hour charge.

also, you are shooting a few through slowly to calibrate the sensi after you turn it on....

using mode 3 here is what i have had happen

taking 5 shots early in the day
sensi worked flawless

next game 4 shots
worked the same

3 times:
worked good,was stopping a bit more

2 shots before game
sensi worked 75% of time, every once in a while id take a pop shot with no shots fired, but worked fine when i turned on and took another 3 shots...

Just a quick question. To clean the sensi, do I simply have to take off the Grip Frame and clean everything there is on there, or do I have to clean something in the marker itself??

Take out the pin with your fingernails, and remove any grease/paint you see.

i was having a similar problem today wth mine...with sensi on, i was shooting and i'd get off maybe 10 balls and then pulling the trigger wouldn't do anything. I just turned sensi off and had no problems, no chopping and it was still rippin, and i have charged mine multiple times, and my sensi rod is cleaned and my drop test gave me 25/25. But i don't even care, cuz it's still shooting nice without sensi and my mrof at 18bps.

[Pbnonstop]

Well i charged my gun, again, took the 5 clearing shots all day, and sensi worked flawlessly. Thanks for the help everyone

Ive read you cant use straight shot squeegies on Speeds because it can damage the sensi.? Would it be ok to just use the cloth end? If not how do you clean the barrel while on field?

best thing to use is a battle swab

[SkeL]

Battle swab, or use the "tape" technique.

Whoa!!! I don't know what language you speak, but in english we would say "remove" present tense.

[SkeL]

Thanks, had to edit and take that D out.

[dark2k2LCD]

just looking out for you. :evilgrin:

hey skel what is tape technique? Also I just realized I cannot find my swab and can't get one before playing this weekend.....man I hope I do not chop......should be fine.....new speed from TAG (I'm pretty sure he checks sensi), new Halo B, new batteries........I should be ok right? lol
