I posted something similar to this a few weeks ago. I tested my A-5 today with my new Rampage board. I now have two problems.
A) This is more important: I cannot get my pressure to go below 900 psi, no matter how I adjust my palmer's reg. It works just fine with C02. Could the output pressure on my HPA tank be too high? Could my reg be messed up? I am quite sure the gauge itself is fine.
B) I can fire single shots, or short bursts but as soon as I let loose with 20bps, the marker fires for about 1/2 to 1 second and then burps...not recocking. (Cyclone is feeding just fine btw, thanks to my new QEV) I recock it and can repeat the same process over and over. This was with a full HPA tank, I haven't tried it yet with C02 and the Rampage board.
Thanks!

I seem to remember responding to your old thread. Try it with CO2 and see if it does the same thing. I think you need to get your reg/tank checked out.
How does the A5 perform stock with CO2? Start stock and if it works fine it is NOT the marker. Then test it stock with the HPA tank on it. Does it perform differently? If that all works then try it with the Palmers Stab on it, both with CO2 and HPA. See where I am going with this? Try one step at a time until you find out the problem.

If yo have already posted a thread regarding this problem then please, in the future, just bump that thread and state any further problems. Also, please do not post the same question in more than one section. If your not sure which section to post in just ask, we're not gonna get angry with you like some forum staffs might.

I added a good bit to it along with clarification of the original question; I guess I could have just edited the original...

I did some testing today, my tank is fine, it worked normally on my friend's A-5, but still has the same problem on my marker.
I put C02 on my marker and my reg returned to normal, meaning that I was able to manipulate the pressure via the regulator. Also, there were no skips and no burps with C02, even at 20bps.
So: For some reason my gauge and/or regulator work fine with C02, but not with HPA... weird, huh?

does your hpa tank have an adjustable reg on it?

Well you narrowed it down, now time to fix it. Like I said in the other thread, I personally would NOT use that tank until I get it checked out. It may be nothing, but are you willing to take that chance?
Good question Turtle. Give us some info on the tank/reg.

I kind asked also because I just picked an 88/4500 on eBay for $130 that has an adjustable reg on it. I should have however, taken a close look at the pic. It doesn't have an ASA on it, it's set up for use on a drop with macro line and it's out of hydro. My OK deal just went to crap. Since I have to get it hydro tested anyway I might just put a new reg on it... |

I recently checked into prices for re-hydroing a HPA tank. It cost $25 (around here anyway), just and FYI if you didn't already know. Still, I think thats a pretty good deal for a tank that size Turtle.

I know it's a good deal I just would have waited to check out a couple of more auctions. There is a Dye 90/4500 sitting at less than $100 with no reserve that only have a couple of days left. LIS, it's not that big a deal, a new reg shouldn't cost much more than $30, I just should have paid closer attention.

As far as I know the reg on my tank is not adjustable. Just a standard Pure Energy. There are two very small allen wrench screws on it, but I am sure they just hold the reg on the tank itself.

And it's a low preasure tank? I think you need a low preasure tank with the LPK...

From what I understand, you should only need an LP tank for the extreme low pressure guns (like 200 psi) the LPK is supposed to operate at 375-425... so I have a HP tank.

How low do you have the pressure set on your stab?

Post by evalha007 on Feb 22, 2006 15:47:51 GMT -5
That's the thing: I can't get it to move below 900 psi no matter how I adjust the stab. With C02 I can adjust it however I want...
And my HPA tank works just fine on my friends A-5 which has almost the exact same setup?!
