how to work the 09 electra

[truebenny]

hey. i recently bought the 09 electra. is this gun like out of the box playable ? or do i have to adjust anything ?

should i adjust the reg or the velocity ?
thanks.

Chrono your gun before adjusting the velocity and if you do have to adjust the velocity to it little by little. I wouldn't mess with the reg or the velocity unless you have to.

yep air up then chrono, from what i have seen so far are many are playable out of the box.

well yeah, i aired it up and what happened is where the manuel said " if it leaks between the on/off ca and tank, it means you need to put a urethane o-ring" what exactly are they talking about ? and what do you mean by chrono ?

well yeah, i aired it up and what happened is where the manuel said " if it leaks between the on/off ca and tank, it means you need to put a urethane o-ring" what exactly are they talking about ?Remove Tank Check condition of the O-ring on tank and ORG010 look in the manual Diagram of marker parts ( In the ASA) With Tank off Turn front nob of ASA till the pin is as far forward as it will go and a light drop of paint ball oil (Hoppies)light oil. Into the ASA put the tank back on and turn the nob on the ASA till it Gases up or Leaks agean.


and what do you mean by chrono ?Chrono-Chronograph the speed the balls are traveling( making shure the are at a safe speed 280 For CO2 at my field and 290 for Compressed.

I just bought the 2009 Electra and when I tried to get everything set up on it to try it out, I noticed it had an air leak where the CO2 bottle screws onto the gun. There is a tiny hole on that part of the gun where the air was leaking from. Does anyone know what causes that and how I can fix it?

It might be the o ring on your air tank. I would change that and see what happens.

[bhilton]

Is there anything else that it could be? I've tried hooking it straight up to my air tank and also to an adapter for a remote coil. It leaks on both of them. I don't have any o rings to change out at the moment, but tomorrow I'm going to try several different air tanks and see what happens. I've got a feeling it's not the air tank though.

i would have to say that it is the oring on the tank for sure. unless of course there is some big chip out of the tank threads or something like that, but you obviously would have seen that... so try changing the oring and im pretty sure that will fix it.

oh and that little hole is just a relief hole, so that the pressure doesn't blow the tank off and hurt someone when your unscrewing it.

Alright, after playing with it a little more this afternoon, the leak is actually coming out of the front hole (the hole where the C/A On/Off Adapter Knob is screwed in). The O-ring on that knob looks fine. Do I need to try to change it out anyway?
