proto rail 2011 won't fire

[noodles19]

I just aired up my proto rail and to start with it would not fire at all so I increased the velocity and dwell and it started to fire but it was very very weak, I really want to test out this new gun but can't work out why it won't fire, the bolt moves a bit but won't go all the way could someone please help?thankyou

cool ok sometimes ive changed a battery for a "new" one and it has been a dud. also is it lubed enough for the bolt to move efficiently? too much and it will stick, not enough and it wont move

 

[noodles19]

how can you tell if it's lubed efficiently, I used only a tiny bit if lube on it, and I will try a new battery

My 2011 Rail was switching between balls getting stuck in the barrel, and chopping paint. Turned out that a couple of the o-rings on the bolt were the wrong size. Stripped down bolt, all new o-rings and bumper, lubed up and shooting fine now. Didn't help that I'd also adjusted the regulator too far in one direction attempting to compensate for the apparent lack of pressure.

The Rail 11 requires a lot of lube. You can almost not overdo it. almost.
and all the internl orings in the bolt needs to be super clean and well lubed.
With some practice cleaning and lubing take 5-10 minutes.
