Spyder RSX PROBLEM...? Help...

[Cmudge26]

So my RSX is full charged battery, full compressed air 68/4500, everything going sweet for the first 5 games... its hot outside and playin woods ball...

All of sudden my gun is only shooting like 1 ball every second in the middle of the game... i had this problem two weekends in a row already... When i point the gun down it shoots perfect and responds to my fast fingers... but when i bring the gun up... nothing shoots!! it doesn't respond to my fast fingers... it only works when i point the gun down NOT up... what can this be? is this because its TOO hot outside... PLEASE HELP ME.....

Check the frame screws, I bet they're loose

Could be the microswitch or maybe even you have the backslack on the trigger set too tight. If it's too tight the leaf spring inside the m/s cannot go forward enough to reset the switch for the next shot. Try readjusting the trigger and see what happens. Look to see if the arm on the m/s is broken -

the frame screws were in pretty tight... Microswitch is which part?? Leaf spring is where?? Blackslack on teh trigger?? sorry this is new to me...

if the arm on the micro switch is broken... then i would have to send it in to Kingman right and get it fixed??

back slack on the trigger is how much room it has to move backwards after it hits the switch. If there is not enough, after you hit the switch, the switch can not re-set itself and move forward.

M/S and arm is what the trigger hits to make the marker fire. Leaf spring is inside the m/s(don't even bother trying to mess with that. You'll prolly wreck it trying to take it apart). OSOK covered the backslack Q -

If the m/s arm is broken Spyder just may send you another if that's really the prob. All these were just guesses. If I don't have it, I can't make a solid evaluation -

If you can't find the problem your best bet is probably a local paintball shop. Or you could even try to find someone that can help you at your field.

Well like i said it work perfectly fine for the first 5 games.... then it doesnt work after that... why would it work for 5 games then not work...??

Maybe your battery is dying? If you have a bad battery it might only be able to charge so much.

Have you thought about a bad electrican connection? Either in the M/S like dragon said or there at the board.
