recocking issues

[cr1mson]

I am having recocking issues with my Imagine. It doesn't recock after each shot. What might be causing this?

could be low psi. check ur psi and make sure its hgih enough for the marker to recock.

More details on what you gun you have and the upgrades you have would help. Your tank could be or close to being empty. Your internals could be dirty and need to be cleaned and relubed.

I use CO2. It worked fine for about 3 weeks, but just now having probs.

You have no after market upgrades? You have had you're tank filled recently?

ok holdup hold up. now does this hapoen when u shoot* When u shoot it violently shakes while the bolt moves back and forth really fast???

but yea if it doesnt do that relube everything and check that ur orings arnt messed up. take verything out of ur maker*Everything invluding the valve, etc,etc* and closley inspect everything.

Ok, I need to clarify.
I have an Imagine with a Kingman ACS bolt. It is aluminum, not delrin. No other accesssories, except a 14" PMI barrel. The tanks are full. I tried 3 different ones. I have pulled everything except the valve, and all the orings look good. I have oiled the orings to make sure also. Do I have to take off the expansion chamber to check the valve? I am going to do that tonight when I get off of work. I love the Imagine, and like I said, it has worked great. I run CO2 with no drop forward. I am awaiting a remote coil that I ordered, and I hope it might help. I thought at first it might be the temp, but it now will do it on the first shot, and the tank is not cold. It double feeds, but I know this is due to the bolt coming partly back, then me recocking it manually. The detents are still good. I guess I should check the valve and make sure there isn't any trash around it, but there shouldn't be. Thanks for any help/suggestions. Also, sorry about the double post.

OK, have you tried putting the stock bolt back into the marker?

I have a similar problem with my Rodeo, but may have it figured out. When I put compressed air on the tank, I will have problems with it not recocking. The Kingman tech just told me that I could potentially have the on/off on my psychoballistics drop forward screwed in too far, shutting off the tank. Isn't the Imagine an electronic gun? I thought those weren't supposed to work with CO2...

[covert24]

yes imagines are electronic guns. and no they do not only run on co2 thy also work on compressed air. compressed air is also better for ur gun then co2
