Strange gas problem with my We Baby 3.8!

Kriss · July 16th, 2006, 17:55

Well, 2 days ago my We baby Hi-capa 3.8 got this litle problem.
When I fill up my magazines, and going out in the warzone to shot some, it only fires 3 shots, no matter what. The first 2 shots is just overpowered, and the last shot is as slow as It can get.(30fps or so).
It seems like all the gas just rushes out with the 2 first shots, and its all empty after that. This happend all of a sudden, I didn't do ANYTHING to the gun.
The Temperature is ok,
and its not the magazines (tried with 3 difrent mags).
I've shot like 1000bbs with the gun, and they all went fine, and all of a sudden this happens.

Anyone got a solution for this?
Any tips?

Thanks,
Kriss

My friend's WE 3.8 is doing the exact same thing. We have not been able to figure out a solution yet. Tried new springs, no luck.
Watch this video, he points out two screws that need to be tightened regularly but the screws on my friends gun were tight. So I am not sure if it will help you or not.

Check the power bulb / rocket valve / reed valve / floating valve / whatever other million names it has.

If it's compatible with marui parts, you may need to switch to an aftermarket one. It sounds like the valve isn't closing off properly and thus, wasting a wackload of gas.

I tried tightening the screw, but it didn't help at all.
This sucks, my gun is like 2 weeks old

Im gona try some new silicone, it might help.
If not, then il buy a new floating valve.
