    Toauto A3 issue

    There is nothing for them to make right. It is working fine right now. I might do some maintenance on it and lube a few things. Silicone oil/grease only though. It was stored in the lower level of my house where it is usually 70F and 25% relative humidity, so storage conditions were fine. There...

    Toauto A3 issue

    Tried it again to take video for Toauto. Loud pop and rush of air out of the output port right before it shut off. I am guessing, and Toauto confirmed a stuck check valve. Must be from sitting unused for 2 months. Thanks for your help on this.

    Check valve stuck closed on Toauto A3?

    I was having an issue where the compressor would run for about 5-6 seconds, slow down, then stop and the A3 would reset. I only tried this a few times a couple days ago. Toauto asked for a video of the issue, so I tried again today. Same issue, but right before the comp. stopped, I heard a pop...

    Toauto A3 issue

    I did not solve the problem. I contacted Toauto last Thursday, and have not heard back. It exhibits the same symptoms running from the 12v input. The compressor starts and runs for maybe 4 seconds, then shuts off, the display cycles and resets to "---". If you press the compressor button again...

    Toauto A3 issue

    I had not used my Toauto A3 compressor for about 5-6 weeks. I tried it today and am having the following issue: 1. Plug it in and the fan starts fine. 2. Depress the compressor button and...the compressor runs for about 1 second and stops. The display has the swirling characters for a few...

    Tuning New .177 Akela pic (trimmed hammer spring)

    I'm not Ray, but this is the one that I use. Just be aware that you lose a little length when you heat and compress the end. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/cutting-an-airgun-spring.782252/

    Tuning New .177 Akela pic (trimmed hammer spring)

    Great rifles! I bought one 6 months ago as a tune project (per sub12airgunner) while I was waiting for an AA S510. The stock received 15 coats of BLO and I also added a Lane regulator. The result far exceeded my expectations for accuracy and smoothness of operation. Polishing as recommended in...

    Akela .177 Optimizing

    Nice Job! I too dug into an Akela I picked up for $299 from Utah AG last year. I did drop another $70 or so for a Lane regulator. I essentially followed Sub12's Youtube video and had a great time, as this was the first time I had tuned an air rifle. I also polished the inside of the barrel, put...

    AA S510 question

    I shot a 5 round string and it was shooting 10.44 exacts at 928 fps, which is 19.97 ft lbs, so it is shooting fine at the highest setting. I also tried the 10.44's at the second lowest setting, and it shot 7 rounds just fine. It was around 600fps. I don't think this is something that should be...

    AA S510 question

    Thanks for the reply. I shoot indoor 10 meter, and outdoor 25 yard pesting, so was interested in the lower power settings. I'll try a few diff. pellets. I was going to chrony the 5 power settings, but that is hard to do if the pellet doesn't get expelled!

    AA S510 question

    I just received a new AA S510 XS carbine in .177. I have been using JSB Exacts 8.44g diabolos for initial testing. I have found that on the second to lowest power setting, the gun will not even get the pellet out of barrel. I need to recock and crank up the power to get the pellet out. Just...

    Another Akela tune

    HS refers to the hammer spring. On the Akela, it can be adjusted in or out.

    Akela tune tweak

    Not only do I not know, it's something that never crossed my mind. :p Do you think a full fill to 2900, then a shot string until it comes off the reg. will help determine whether or not it is over sprung? At this point in time, if it is at the power I want, shoots 100 shots, and is quiet, then...

    Akela tune tweak

    At the suggestion of a fellow air gunner that has many tunes under his belt, I adjusted for a slightly higher fpe than my target, then backed off the transfer port a smidge to get down to my target. I did this on the Akela by replacing the hammer spring with one that is exactly 2.57", then...

    Another Akela tune

    I ask for an example, because to a novice like me, there apepars to be a drop, then a rise towards the end of the string.

    Another Akela tune

    BTB - Great Feedback. I'll back it off a 1/2 turn and redo the string. At this point, does it make sense to fill to something less than 3000psi? My assumption is that you can still see the rise if filled to 2000PSI and shoot down from there. Saves time and pellets. Also, can you share or link...
