Hi all, used my SP8 for the first time properly today.

Was fine for the first 500 ish rounds. Then all of a sudden, no airflow.

Same tank, same remote line on my GOG, and just fine.

Seems to be air starved. Balls were just plopping out of the barrel.

Any help would be appreciated.

Minorly stating the obvious (but the obvious isn't always the obvious) .....

Do you mean that after firing 500 in the field that it lost power?
Eg had the cylinders pressure dropped and therefore it was insufficient to cycle - the sp8 operates at low pressure (approx 250psi etc) but needs high / mid pressure from the cylinders regulator (650psi+)

If it's not that then try without the remote line and using the cylinder directly on the sp8 and see if it's any different

Yeah tried all the obvious answers, i am quite proficient repairing/servicing markers, but this has me stumped.

I thought maybe the solenoid had gone, but i can hear that working, blackheart board is fine, bolt is fine, O-rings are fine, so i thought maybe the dwell, reset that, and still the same.

I think it may be a problem with the blackheart board. It is not cycling modes or programming as it should. And in honesty anything past that point is beyong my capabilities. I am used to X7,s A5's etc.
The blackheart in my GOG seems much easier to deal with.
