Weird LP imagine problem...

[Hob Hayward]

Tell me this problem isn't weird and that its not entirely illogical...

I have LP 05 imagine with the following innies:
Palmer stabilizer
Maddman Rocket valve
Trinity Front block
IPS Sunbear Bolt
Dark Horizon titanium striker
and a 32* spring kit

It was working fine two weeks ago, I lit up a toy car with half a hopper, perfect accuracy and velocity.

I go to play with it on friday when my new cocker isn't working correctly, and for some reason velocity has jumped way up and its REALLY loud and sounds unhealthy(as far as a spyder sounds, almost liek a double fire, but its too fast to be that..). I lower the input pressure to the point just above where it won't recock and its still loud and shooting much faster than usual. Its running a silver main spring, I guess I'm gonna try to get a light main spring again ( I lent mine to a friend *slaps self*).

Now the only thing I did to the marker during that time was the magnetic trigger mod. I don't see how that could effect the performance of the gun, but what do I know.

Can anyone think of anything that would do this? I'm probably going to reverse the magnet mod because it didn't really work out too well anyways.

Thanks :)

u change ur o rings?

[DRAGON]

Using C02? -

[Eaglelox]

change in temp?

[Hob Hayward]

Using co2, I've stripped the gun down twice to check for somthing that could be doing it, but everythings fine.

The temp has stayed about the same betwen both times.

I had a similiar problem with my pilot right after I got it, tore it apart and put it back together again and it worked fine. From what I could tell the main spring didn't seat all the way into the striker, I think the bolt pin was obstructing it just enough. It shot uber hot, like 340ish. Probabaly has nothing to do with your prob, but maybe...ya never know.

[Hob Hayward]

Definitely worth checking. I'm wondering if I accidentally put the stock main spring in, which some people say is even stronger tha nthe gold from a spring kit...

I'm gonna get my light main spring back and see if that helps. Hopefully its just a spring thing, because this just doesn't make sense.

[Hob Hayward]

In case any of you were wondering I managed to fix the problem, and what a bizarre problem is was...

I realized that it was firing twice to each pull, every single time. Then, when it worked best at uber low pressures and occasionally fired once I realized that the sear was being activated for too long! I was using my brothers mongoose board at that time, so when I switched back to my board it worked fine. I find it somewhat amusing that my gun out cycles the sear activation time... Must be that 35ish gram weight of bolt and striker :P.

Tell me thats not entirely insane.

It was prolly the difference in the output of the capacitor and also, don't the Goose's require just a 9v battery? Just sounds like the noid was underpowered so it wouldn't trip the sear completely for some reason -

[Hob Hayward]

Neh, I thought the same thing at first. I tried a bunch of different batteries before I switched boards. I had a half charged kingman battery, a fully charged kingman battery and a brand new energizer 9v.

[DRAGON]

Did you compare the output capacity of the capacitors? I'm sure you know but that's the large round cylinder at the top of the board -

[Hob Hayward]

Both are 6800uf 16volts. Must be slightly different board circuitry.
