Well i got this spyder imagine and when i cock it and shoot it wont work. i have a fresh durracell battery and it works perfect until i cock it like when i dont cock it, it sounds strong but when i cock it its weak and wont work plus i have a fresh co2 in it!! HELP

 

[martix_agent]

wait what? you cock it and then uncock it? does it shoot?

 

[justin23]

when i cock the gun it wont shoot but i have a fresh battery

 

[evolkers2003]

Is it new? Is everything (the battery cable and what not) connected? Make sure the gun is assembled correctly, make sure the spring is in it and good. Make sure air is getting to the gun. Its not leakign any where is it? Make sure the o-rings are good and lubed up.

Also what do you mean by strong? Like the solenoid is hitting strong but the not when its aired up? Or do you mean strong like the gun isnt firing very far?

 

[justin23]

yeah the solenoid is hitting strong when its NOT cocked but when it is cocked its weak and wont shoot

 

[evolkers2003]

Hm, not getting enough power? Those guns have a thing for the solenoid going out (especially the Icons, so never get one of those) but is it brand new or used?

 

[justin23]

used

 

[martix_agent]

I'm thinking it's a bad capacitor. I got one of those once and never got the board working cuz i was too lazy to get a capasitor for it.

 

[justin23]

so what do i do

 

[evolkers2003]

Yea, somethings wrong with your board/solenoid, your gonna have to get it replaced or fixed.

 

[martix_agent]

buy a new capacitor for it. I can't see the solenoid going out, it's highly unlikely.
first though, find somebody who knows how to use a volt meter and ask them to test the capacitor for you.

 

[justin23]

how much will it cost?

 

[martix_agent]

I dunno. the tricky part is finding one that matches it. I looked for a while a few years ago and only found a few of them.

 

[justin23]

do u have any gun chocies that i shud get at a low cost?

 

[evolkers2003]

how much you thinking?

 

[justin23]

something good but cheap

 

[justin23]

like nothing over 250

You said that you put a regular 9V in it, and that might be the problem.

They run the best off of 9.6V

Get a 9.6V battery and have all your problems solved

 

[justin23]

where do u get those?

paintball stores and my sig
