Etek 2 not firing

[Luke H]

Ok so as the title says really.

Air is reaching the bolt, the bolt is cycling, but it isn't pushing the ball out of the barrel, they just roll out the end.

•I've tried an new battery, and it was a decent one (duracell)
•I've adjusted the in line reg


So I'm not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance

okay well just incase, check your LPR first and make sure the screw is flush with the front.

is the air actually moving through the bolt to push the paintball, or is the bolt only moving but now blowing any air out? if the air is not leaving the bolt you need to do the following:

what i suspect it is, is basically the rammer housing has to go in the right way up, but its difficult to tell the difference (i've had this same problem)

take the gripframe off and unscrew your inline reg. use an allen key to remove the screw inside where the reg screws in, and also remove the screw about halfway along which sits flush with the body of the gun. this will let you slide the LPR, poppet etc out of the body. take out the black rammer housing and look for the small hole near the front and make sure its orientated up, as this is what allows the air to move through the bolt. stick it all back together and try it again. (basically the hole the screw will go into on the rammer housing should just be a little indent not an actual hole: this is the one you want facing up)

p.s. just checked, this process is on page 31 of the etek2 manual

Me thinks you could have it in training mode, can you push the bolt forward easy when aired up????

 

[Luke H]

Thanks , will try it tommorow and tell you how I get on

No it's hard to push the bolt forward, and also I'm not sure if there is a training mode on an etek?

 

[Liam92]

there is no training mode on the etek you're right. it almost definately sounds like what i described above, so have a look at your rammer housing and let me know how you get on.

 

[Luke H]

i did what has been suggested and took it out with some paint and the same thing is still happening any ideas?

 

[Stan]

When was it last working?
What have you done to it since it last worked?

 

[Luke H]

All I've done to it since was last working is put in a fresh battery, And what's already been suggested in the thread


Edit: also adjusted dwell (10) and debounce (6) setting

hmm, it might be worth holding the tournament lock button inside the grip frame and resetting the board, but i don't think that's the be all and end all. only thing i can think of is maybe the poppet is sticking for some reason but that would've been fixed when you took the rammer housing out. im not a tech by any stretch of the imagination but i'm pretty stumped lol.
post up in the eclipse section and see if stoney can help you out.

P.S. Stan after all this time thats the first i've fell for you dam bug animation in your sig, tried to squish the thing *facepalm*
