Ion Vlocity problem

[crumpler]

yeah i posted the same thing in PB nation as they have a big ion scene in the US with there being basically a whole aftermarket ion out now,

Thats what i have thought is that the noid is blown but if im right it wouldnt fire at all with a blown noid???

and i dont really fiddel with it all i do is clean and lube it so its ready for the next time to be used

hey man i had a similar prob not too long ago so i basically stripped me ion bare and gave every thing a good clean and checked all the hoses for lil niks or anything and i took me solenoid a part and gave tht a good goin over, hey presto it worked lol but was a bit time consuming but hey it works a charm now

yeah already no about that but thimk any way, just so you people no i never got it fixed just guessed it was the noid and left it

its the dwell surely, should be set at around 48 milliseconds. yep 48

 

[crumpler]

well if you have a Qev (like me) you can get your dwell dont to about 12 - 15 but better to keep at around 25 as stated by bulldogg. But i have tried everything, i didnt just leave it i have tried different regs, stock banjo with normal dwell (52), cleaning and lubeing, stock bolt, new piston bit for noid (dont no why but i did).

So there aint much else for me to do and if there is i have prob already done it but forgot, im going to try a differend board/noid when i get the chance but for now im all out off ideas.

its either going to be ur reg or your board, find which one it is and replace it

if all else fails, buy another ion

 

[ollgeeze]

you know it could be your pressure gauge giving you the wrong reading.... :] smart parts pressure gauges are pretty ****e from my experience.

what are you lubing it with?

 

[crumpler]

ok guage is fine, had SP one but also tried and now has on a planet one which is good.

i have tried the reg so must be the noid but i dont want to get new baord as i already spent out on a BH one.

And i have been useing dye slick lube, and befor you say Dow is better all the times i had used my ion it had been fine and no problem from the start.
