shocker help...

[DyNasty9]

ok so i was dry fireing just a few minutes ago and i turned the air on and shot one shot and it was the worst sound ive ever heard it was like a short skreech when i shot. so i was like wtf, so i turn the air off and then turn it back on and now it doesnt shoot at all so i jsut tore it down and im lubing everything including the reg and stuff, but anybody know why it did this? i think i blew the solinoid but i dont know what happens when you do that. any help would be great, specialy from you shocker owners.

Well, at first, I thought it was that infamous shocker "honk". The reg tends to do that from time to time. Mine's been doing it lately, also. I think it's the cold...

Anyway, I'm not sure why your's wouldn't work. Mine just honks once, and it's done. Let us know after you lube it if it shoots!

[DyNasty9]

ya it sounded like a honk, but the weird thing is its just wouldnt shoot after.im still in the proccess of takin the reg apart to lube it but i came back here to print out some stuff from ZDS and im putting it all in a binder nice and organized. but you dont think it could be a blown solenoid do you vike?

Finish the lubing and we'll go from there. Sound's like a friction honk.

JB.

Yeah, don't know why blowing a solenoid would sound like a honk. I think it's just the friction thing, but lube 'er up for a start....

Change the battery also.

ok well i think i figured out why the honk was happening. i couldnt get the reg apart cuz i didnt have the right size allen wrench so i finally got out to get it last night.so get the reg apart and im re lubing things and then i realize the piston oring was chewed up. so i replaced that and i put it all back together and i go to put my tank on and i found out i have no air cuz my freind left it on my friends trix and it all leaked out some how. however, i did do sme research on this and found that it is the regulator that causes the honking(good call vike) so i think im going to pick up a new reg. think they will be selling the new maxys on the 06 dynastys? those look really nice. ill let you guys know when i get my air filled if everything works out.

Go for a CP or something... It's worth it...

ya, i dont think there is much of a difference between the 04-05 maxys, compared to the 06, i think they just changed the milling.

i like how the sidewinder looks and i know its a good reg but im not sure if it would flow( not air flow i mean looks) well with a shocker, anybody seen any picutres of one on a shocker, if you have could you post it id like to see it.
