S400 Carbine Problems
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2016 10:22 am
Good morning chaps, I've not been on AAOC for a long time (I was one of the orignal members when it was first started and still have my little AAOC badge you were selling in those days)
I've had to register with a new name as I think I was probably deleted a long time ago.
My S400 hasn't fired a pellet in about 7 years but Ive got it out today and found that it wont charge up. I remember ages ago hearing a loud bang (like a massive balloon popping) and had no idea what it was although I did suspect later that it might have been my air gun and it appears it was.
The gauge underneath the gun is indicating it has about 170bar in it but there is nothing. I connect the air bottle and open the valve and its indicating, straight away, just over 200 bar but it is putting nothing into the gun. The very first time i connected it and opened the valve, there was a noise like an internal air leak just for a couple of seconds and then nothing and its not done anything ever since.
Ive not had the gun apart yet but just wondering what I can expect to find and if its easy to fix.
The gun is like new and not even had 500 pellets through it but i'm looking to get started again with it.
Any help, tips, thoughts appreciated.
Chris
