Hi all.
I've got a new-to-me classic Intimidator with the 1.4.3 board and it's giving me fits trying to tell whether there's a problem with the eyes or not. I've owned lots of guns with eyes before but this is the first one I've encountered where there appears to be no visual indication of whether the gun, when turned on "sees" something in the breech.
First off, when the gun is first powered up, for the first ten seconds or so it shoots very slowly, like 1 ball per second no matter how rapidly the trigger is pulled. After 10 seconds or so, though, it will shoot more rapidly, so I'm wondering if it's putting itself into a "dirty eye" mode.
Secondly, the gun appears to fire whether the chamber is empty or there's a ball in there, though again, at first there's a bit of a delay when shooting, but this goes away after a number of trigger pulls/seconds have passed.
Finally, I'm feeling as if when in programming mode the gun is ignoring my inputs to tell it to bring the eyes out of "bypass" mode. The manual isn't particularly clear about how to confirm a setting when you're in programming mode, though I think it's supposed to be just one press of the left membrane button. On this board, turning off the eyes appears to be done either by putting the gun in the "test" firing mode or setting the eye delay to "bypass", but it seems as though no matter how many times I try setting the bypass value to something other than "bypass", whenever I come back to the setting to see what it's as it still reads as if it's in "bypass". I thought maybe that it's ignoring my settings because the tournament lock is set with the dip switches in the back but that's not the case- engaging the tournament lock will just cause the gun to say "lock" when I try to enter programming mode.
I feel as if the gun won't let me change the dwell settings either- it feels as if it's always at 1ms and when I change it and come back the value is still set there.
Any help beyond showing me where the .pdf of the manual is would be appreciated.
