    LV1 issue -solenoid?

    Bought this LV1 a while back & it shot great the first time i used it. I don’t play much at all during the winter so it sat a while (2 months or so) without being aired up & cycled. Pulled it out to use 3 weeks ago & it took several trigger pulls to actually start cycling. When it did cycle the velocity was extremely low. After sitting for just a few seconds it would take a few trigger pulls to start cycling again. LPR, HPR, SFR, dwell, etc were all at factory settings. Replaced the battery with a brand new one with the same results. I know these noids are notorious for sticking if they sit too long without being used so I’m guessing that’s the issue. I’m not sure what else it might be.

      I would rebuild the RAM and open up the SFRs all the way to rule out anything else, but yeah sounds like your solenoid.

        I also remembered that you should ensure your solenoid power is set to high.

          Yeah i thought about trying that to see what difference, if any, it might make. Even if changing it to high helps, that’s still probably not a good sign since the factory setting is low & it was originally shooting great with factory settings. I hadn’t thought about opening up the SFRs all the way though. Thanks.
