Default mini not pressurized?

I just grabbed this invert mini off of one of my buddies. It seemed to work, it turned on and the solenoid clicks. When I attached my air tank, nothing happened. The gauge didnt move and the gun did not become pressurized. Any help would be appreciated

If there were no leaks. I would say the reg is where I would start. Did he mess with it any?

There are no leaks and no not as far as I know. I dont know the first thing about minis so I dont really know how to start diagnosing it

okay so ive been working on it for a while and ive discovered that there is air running through the gun. The regulator was turned all the way down when I got it. I ran into another problem though, its leaking. Its leaking from the bolt so I took apart the gun lubed it, checked all o rings, checked the poppet and reset the solenoid and its still leaking.

I would also set the board back to factory default. I would assume the reg is set to 200 psi now? Also screw the velocity adjuster all the way in and back it out a couple of turns. That should reset the poppet.

ill try resetting the board. The guage still is at 0, its just leaking through the gun now. I have already reset the poppet.

update: Reset the board, that brought the gauge up to 200 and stopped the leak. I took one shot and it started leaking air down the barrel again

If its leaking through the gun then it hints to the poppet not sealing. When you cleaned and lubed the mini I would assume you made sure no lube got on the part that seals the poppet. With my old mini it would leak the same way no matter how many orings I changed. I ended up swapping the poppet out that fixed it. I just bought a parts kit that had one in it that way theres spare orings and stuff as well.

Sounds like it. Like I said you can get the parts kit with a new one in it and it should also have anything else you would need to rebuild the mini.
