Actually I did not install the delayer chip, I removed it. After I removed it the fps dropped. That delayer chip came installed on the OEM 18:1 gears that were on my gearbox, and when I installed the new 13:1 gears, I did not use the delayer chip on the sector gear, and that was when the fps dropped. I know that the delayer was changing the timing between the piston and the tappet plate/nozzle, but if that timing was wrong, why was my fps higher?

Hi, I have just finished assembling my AEG after changing the gears to improve the trigger response, and something weird and new happened. After I changed the original 18:1 gears to 13:1, there was a fps drop of around 10-15 fps. I've used the exact same parts as before, and nothing was changed besides the gears, and I double checked every o ring, joint etc so I know it is not an air leak issue. I was trying to figure out what could be wrong, when I remembered that the original sector gear had a delayer on it (cam chip), and the new gear that came in the 13:1 kit did not. So I came to the conclusion that since the delayer was not being used, the alignment between the tapet plate and the piston was different, and for that reason I was losing compression. But the funny thing is, the fps readings are more consistent now, before I was getting a 20-25fps diference between the max and min readings, and now I get a 10 fps fluctuation, but most of the time it is 5fps. I have decided to not use the delayer on the sector gear, since I am not having any feed issues and it is not a high ROF build, and I prioritize consistency. Any other reason I should think for that fps loss?
