View Full Version : weird prob with solenoid/electronics

Alright, I just got back from balling, and twice today I was having a weird problem... The solenoid would reverse (sitting forward, rather than back) and venting.... I don't know what caused this, but I was able to rectify the problem the first time... Does anyone know why it did that?

dont supose you have an LPR on the gun if so might be a bit low. But first thing to try would be a new battery

Definitely checked the LPR, no matter how high or low, it kept leaking and staying forward.

Does the air leak out when it sticks forward?

A few things can cause it to stay forward....
1. Chopped paint in the bolt.
2. Low Pressure too low.
3. Electronics feeding voltage to the noid when it isn't suppose to. (do you have that plastic insulator in between the grip frame and the body?)

Probably other things too but that is all I can think of right now.

I am guessing it is that, or a pinched wire. Make sure the grips are not pinching a wire.

my guess is the insulator, as I put a peice of paper in between the body and board, because I lost the plastic one... Perhaps the solder points broke through the paper. I'll check that. it is definitely not 1 and 2, because I did not chop, and I tried many different pressures on the LPR.
Thanks guys.

I would bet that is what is doing it. Put one or two(I use two) strips of electrical tape where the insulator would go.

Yeah paper will not due!!!!

You need plastic. Like those fake credit cards that come in the mail.

a piece from those plastic window shades works great too :D my landlord will prob bitch when I leave but hey gotta do what ya gotta do

You can probably cut a piece out of one of your 3-Ring Binders from school too!!!
