valve Questions

[spudling]

i recently made a paintball mine and i need to yous the solenoid but it is just letting the air bleed out so how could i improve this setup,the valve is just a inline lawnjeainny

(remere i cant go pneumatic with the valve)

Well from what i can understand (im not making fun of you) i think you need to unscrew the solenoid and plug it with epoxy.

If your valve isnt already modded, then do so.

i cant i have to go electronic on this one

Where does it leak?

First make sure it's not backwards, second if you're using a hand pump, try pumping faster, you said it's for a paintball mine, so shouldn't be too hard to seal the valve with a bike pump.

no sorry i didnt make it clear when i fire it it bleeds out insted of a burst in other words when i pull the trigger it gos sssssssss insted of boom!

So it seals until you trigger it? Unscrew the solenoid and make sure nothing is blocking it

[spudling]

its fine but you hit the nail on the head

is there a specific reason as to why it must be electronic?

If it has a air bleeder valve, make sure it's turned off.

since it is a mine he probably has it set up to be remotely triggered. That would be why he hasn't modded it.
