'04 Viking Issues

Posted this on AKAOG but thought I would put it here as well.

Just picked up an '04 Viking. It's complete but I was told that it's leaking air and might have a trigger switch issue.

It just came in today and while I don't have any air, the battery in it was good. When I turned it on, the green light on the back flashed once, then twice, then three times all the way up to 8. When I pulled the trigger, it did nothing. I pulled the trigger switch and cleaned what looked like some built up paint and gun off it, then turned the trigger screw in about a quarter of a turn till I could tell it made contact.

Now, when I turn it on, it flashes till I pull the trigger, than it stays a steady green regardless of how many times I pull the trigger or where the bolt sits.

The board is a Pandora V1.

I'm going to clean it well and then re-lube it, but don't have any AKA lube. Is there a commercial product I can use in place of the AKA Lube that I can find locally? I've heard transmission fluid is the same thing.

Thanks in advance!
Duke

What does the Pandora manual say? What you described sounds normal for an aftermarket board. Does the led change when you block the eyes? I replaced my Pandora board with a WAS board because they use colored leds. It makes setting the board and solving problems like this a lot easier.

Just use air tool oil.

I haven't looked at the manual yet, but I believe it's the board that came stock with it. No change in the LED when I block the eyes or when I pull the trigger.

I would suggest reading the manual. It should provide all the info you need. http://www.paintballtrader.com/Xcart...cs/pandora.pdf
I don't see an explanation by just browsing through it but I'm sure the answer is in there. I would double check the settings on the board as well. Vikings like their stock settings.

I would suggest synthetic oil. I don't think mineral oil is good for orings.

Well, it's shooting great. Speeds over five or six rounds were between 292 and 297 once I adjusted the Sidewinder just a hair.

Still has a slight leak that sounds like the ram. I pulled it and cleaned it yesterday, but it's still there.

Any ideas? Anything to look at closer?
