Etek 1 - high velocity first shot

[Thorpe]

Hey guys. Chrono'd my gun yesterday and was getting a very high velocity first shot if the gun hadn't been shot for a while (10+ seconds). I think it was around 360fps for the first shot, but then the second shot instantly drops to around 250-260 and stays around there. The field limit is 270 but if I turn my velocity up to get it closer to 270, the first shot gets even hotter and its bad enough as it is.

Its noticeable out on the field too, if I don't shoot for a while the first round has a lot more range and accuracy than the rest. I don't hit much out on the field, but I'm concerned this first shot might actually hit a player, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be hit by such a hot round so any ideas on what I can do to sort it?

Gun is a stock Etek1. Thanks in advance for any help.

I would guess the HP inline regulator is creeping due to faulty seals.

If so a strip, clean, new seals and a rebuild should sort it out.

check the FSDO setting

How do I check/change the FSDO setting Lovetone? I understand FSDO stands for first shot drop off, but can't find out how to check what it is? Thanks.

if its available as a software option it would be in the etek manual but a quick browse says i cant find it mentioned.
it might be an issue with your HPR or LPR, service them properly then try again, or contact PE direct.

Check that your dwell isn't set to high. Sounds like your inline reg creeping or supercharging though so a good strip clean and lube should fix it.
