Good thought.. changed twice.. just for the sake of making sure.. brand new out of package purchased tonight..

I re did everything again.. and after reading a bit more.. i set the dwell completely way to high.. and success.. shot a bunch.. thanks guys, im gonna dry fire, etc a bit and work it in.. then power it off and reset the board.. and hopefully it works.. hoping the solenoid needed reset.. it hasnt been fired in almost a year (like i said.. abused marker)

Now another question i have is.. My own MINI is acting a little weird.. i have no leaks or anything.. but when i first power up my marker.. and gas it up- and add paint.. i have to pull the trigger maybe half a dozen to 20 times, the whole time the marker doesnt fire.. then it starts registering the trigger pulls.. no problems after that..

what would the reason be for it not registering my trigger pulls?

That is the solenoid. Needs to be cleaned/reset.

first problem or second problem?

Eh?

If your marker isn't reading that you are pulling the trigger for the first couple shots, clean and reset the noid. Be very careful though as the screws on the cap are pretty sensitive.

Yay, sounds like i was right from the start lol.

Give it a clean, and dont use lube, or if you do, use very little on the noid.

No lube haha everything is good now! Thanks again for the quick help folks! I learned alot more about my mini in the last week or so!
