Etha 2 issue - Won't Fire

[pbchris33]

I accidentally unscrewed the bolt while air was still engaged. Now my ether 2 will not fire.

It can air up fine, no audible leaks. I have torn it down and cleaned and re-lubed including solenoid, regulator, bolt assembly etc.

When I air it up, I slam the POPS pretty hard to make sure the pin gets my tank (ball pin). No leaks as mentioned above that I can hear. When I go to dry fire it, the solenoid clicks and makes little puffing sound with a little air coming out from the solenoid area, no bolt movement.

Anyone experience this? marker has been working flawlessly until I pulled a dumb move. Any other ideas of what It could be?

Thank you

Never had this problem, but it means either that there is a flow restriction somewhere or the solenoid is damaged.

If you are comfortable working on your own equipment, break down the bolt system and inspect all orings. Replacing any that appear damaged. Regrease and try again.

Thank you, I did a double. check on the bolt and there was a missing o-ring that got blown off.

Check that the rear-most orings on the can right on front of the knob are in the correct grooves. They can be blown out of place if you remove the bolt under pressure.
