AOC problem maybe?

[bakerboy4679]

Bolt slides about half a cycle. doesnt hit the valve.
AOC pressure is at 90.

what could be the deal?
thanks

hm. i kinda need to figure this out.
I'll try a few things today like switching the AOC and stuff.

any help would be great

edited it for simplicity.
Andy, can you remember what you had this AOC set at when you sent it to me(in the Blue BBT)?

Thanks

do you have a ram pressure guage??? i would be checking to see how much pressure is going to your ram

[bakerboy4679]

no i don't... have one to lend me?

[goose]

i have the body to one but it does not have a guage on it. nothing that a temporary swap off the aoc guage wouldn't fix though.

give me a few weeks and i should be able to get it to you if someone else hasn't helped bofore then. Sorry i can't help sooner but with all the packing and divorce and still taking care of my kids and working things are very crazy right now.

will definately hook you up in a few weeks though if noone else has been able to take care of it by then.

again sorry i can't do more right now

Great. Thanks goose, and yeah, i have plenty of gauges sitting in my toolbox.

Didn't you make a guage out of one of my AOC LPC???

That would work to test the LP

[bakerboy4679]

yep thats whats on the gun now..

Edit. Wait. do you mean it will thread into the ram threads?!???

[Edwin]

No it won't work with the ram.....maybe I just read too quick...

AOC to me was LP problem....so I just figured you didn't have a LP gauge.

What is your dwell set to??? Sound like too small of a dwell setting causing short stroke.

[Edwin]

Also does the LP drop as you fire, and continue to drop until it doesn't cycle?
Sometimes if the LPC is screwed in too far it can partially cover the lp hole that feeds the noid. Therefore causing LP drop

[bakerboy4679]

Thanks Edwin. I hadn't even thought about the dwell.
I have it set at 19ms(seems to be what it's liking. on 18ms, and on Full Auto, it kinda lost a good bit of pressure about ever other shot. but i cranked it up to 19 and it pounds every one.

Thanks Edwin.
GOOSE. Thanks buddy, but I don't need that Ram gauge anymore!

Again-thanks

[goose]

no problem man. looks like i was on the wrong path anyways lol

[bakerboy4679]

Well, it would have been helpful none-the-less. if not for diagnosing it, but just out of curiosity knowing what it runs at!
