Haha yeah no worries, because of my need I went mental on he tank size just so I never have a issue.
 
I also encountered the cool down and staggering fps fluctuations the weekend using my 416 the first and most likely only time before its gutted.
 
Good luck dude !

Issue resolved !! :D :D
 
Thanks guys for your help.
Lowe and behold the issue in the end was the piston head!
After rulling everything else out, my only conclusion was to replace the piston head.
Though the origional worked and was sealing like a boss, it was a very tight fit.
So in goes pom asg piston head, build back up. Carefully check piston on rails .. al good.
Pop the xcortech, shot 1 355 shot 2 353.... .
Many happy shots later and its consistently back up to the 350fps mark i was so used to.
Also due to the piston fitting happily, the rps has also increased .
 
All back together and ready to go for stormforce on sunday !!
 
Cheers guys.

Wow thanks for your input proffrink !!
Fortunately i have given this much thought as the scuba tank and filler are already sorted for me.
I have had a little cry at the setup costs and have pre taped my rear up, ready for day 1.
I will certainly look at the larger tanks, i did see the larger gurilla tank but the price sky rockets when you hit 4.5k psi on a 88ci tank.
I have sourcd the tank from a UK retailer so no issues with delivery
 
My plan was to take it easy with the tank and use the skuba tank to refill between games, later on i would then look at a beefy tank.
I am actually waiting for my first Z-kit from airlab to come monday for my mk17 AEG, cant wait !
 
The high to low regulator i have been looking at getting from the grangeairsoft which has the QD on it already by the looks of it.

Thanks for the advice on the tank regulator, something to add to the list
Luckily my boss does diving quite allot so his experience has come in handy.
 
I did stumble across the orga barrels while looking into what setups people go for and was one on my list but not straight away
I have been chatting to tony via email regarding the kits and has been great help, i may very well discuss the import charge .
 
I am pretty handy when it comes to mechanics so the installation shouldnt be too bumpy
 
Cheers for the advice !

Indeed, i need to get a mosfet without AB , AB really cant help much on wear and temps.
My negotiating skills certainly seemed to have payed off, i contacted the seller and has agreed to help replace the motor. Lets see how we get on

Thanks for your input ian.
I can clarify that both o-ring and cylinder are fine. And while there is no air leaks between the piston/cylinder/head/nozzle and hop i seemed to hit a road block.
I wanted to look more into the issue with the sticky piston issue, which AF-UK pointed out I should have a freely moving piston.
 
My piston head was certainly a problem, while it does not leak. The piston head was far to large to fit freely inside the cylinder.
As soon as any side to side play is put on the piston as it travels, the sides of the head would catch the cylinder wall and slow it down, or stick if pushed by hand.
 
I foruntnately had a spare pom piston head that fit a hell of a lot better, shame my AO is now out .
Not by much though so no worries.
 
Unfortunately while working on the shell, one of the bearings for the sector gear popped little BB babies everyhwhere, ok no worries i got spares... ah wait i have 6/7/9 mm bearings but no 8s ! Typical.
Should have bearing by tuesday. Untill then i cant really test anymore.
Everything else looks good, so once parts come i will find out how this gets on.
 
As for lubricant, i have been using 100% silicone jell by webbs for air seal parts and ptfe for guides and tappet plate to case.
I know the lube cant be my issue here as bulding many guns and fixing a whole lot more,i have never had any issues.
I will certainly get some of that though .
 
After all these issues, im bulding a HPA kit to be finished the end of the year. Lets hope i have less issues with that .
 
report back tues/wed
 
Cheers
George
