    Omega Super Charger SC-3, Poor quality flow switch, am looking for alternative..

    Just thought I'd let you guys know that so far the third part is holding out:-)

    Omega Super Charger SC-3, Poor quality flow switch, am looking for alternative..

    Hi Azuaro, the pump is one part that does have some kind of markings on it. When I eventually get around to installing the new switch (probably when my cylinder runs out of air), I'll take the details down and post them here. However in the mean time, it's quite possible that the Omega part is...

    Hi Azuaro. The part in the picture is indeed a check valve flow switch. The pump is a separate part that sits a few inches below the flow switch. Given that the pump's inlet is 90° to it's outlet I would guess that the pump is the centrifugal kind. The two previous switches each failed in a...

    Below is a picture of the replacement part I've been sent. Physicals are: The length of the body is 36.5mm, body diameter is 18.2mm, overall length is 70.5mm, connection nipples lengths are (70.5-36.5)/2 = 17mm, nipple outside diameters are 9.25mm. Connection cable length is 1m, connector...

    I don't know if that is possible. But in my case it didn't happen that way. You'd have to ask Omega and see what they say.

    Omega Super Charger SC-3, Poor quality flow switch, am looking for alternative..

    Depends when they found out about it. Sometimes these things just aren't discovered until their out there in the field. There is no doubt it though, the part is a critical part of the compressor system, in that if for whatever reason the coolant system fails (say a leak or pump failure), then...

    Omega Super Charger SC-3, Poor quality flow switch, am looking for alternative..

    It's really just this part that's been giving me grief. The support has been very good and I now have the newly designed part. I certainly would not discourage anyone from buying the unit. My experience has been that if you have any issues, that Omega and their re-sellers, will do everything...

    Omega Super Charger SC-3, Poor quality flow switch, am looking for alternative..

    I have been somewhat depessingly unable to locate an equivalent part. However Ross advised me that the problems with the part were known to Omega and that they were working on an update to the part. Today that part arrived. First impressions are that the part looks much the same as the old one...

    Omega Super Charger SC-3, Poor quality flow switch, am looking for alternative..

    After little more than 3 hours of service the coolant flow switch on my Omega SC3 broke in open circuit mode, which wrongly indicates that the coolant was not circulating. This in turn causes the compressor to turn off, preventing re-charging of guns and cylinders. Ross of Guilbert...

    Would the FX Wildcat make a good Lefty rifle?

    I'm a lefty, I own the FX Wildcat in .25, and whilst it's not the most comfortable rifle I own, it's perfectly usable and I have no regrets at having purchased one. http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah293/RichardBDUK/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-10/F5CF1C90-5090-4B39-985D-A56A8E08E924_zpsp3jeflbp.jpg

    FX Wildcat scope height and zeroing - Question Answered

    I've fitted the picatinny rail to my .25 FX Wildcat which replaces the normal rail altogether. However to get the correct scope picture, the scope centre needs to be very high above the barrel (at least relative to normal rifles). Thus when zeroing to say 25m, one has to crank the scope turret...

    Here are FX's answers to your questions

    My FX Wildcat .25 is shooting JSB Exact King 25.39 grain pellets at 712 fps. That's just under 30 fpe. It should be shooting at 47 fpe. ((712x712)x25.39)/450240 = 29 fpe My my question is how do you adjust the regulator to set the quoted 47 fpe?

    FX WC Forend Picatinny Rail Installation?

    Following up on Teds tip about the BT1517 and having finally taken delivery of my FX Wildcat in .25, and having acquired the required courage (beer may have been involved). I finally bit the pellet and took drill to stock (or more accurately drill and drill-stand). The stock of the FX Wildcat...
