Mini not firing

So one of my friends bought a used mini like a month ago, it worked when he first got it. Now a month later, he gassed it up and the shot would register and the paintball would just roll out of the barrel. I took out the bolt and lubed up the o-rings and put it back, still didn't work. Also when he got it there was no manual. Any ideas?

check the dwell. Here is a link to the manual...http://www.boblong.com/pdf/manuals/invert/mini_std.pdf

Is it just clicking or is it firing just not very hard?

Also, there is a wire that runs from the solenoid to the board on the gun. Sometimes when firing that becomes loose and will cause the gun not to fire. To check that, you need to take the frame off. The Solenoid is the cylindrical piece that you can actually unscrew from the body. Disconnect that wire from the board and then reconnect it. That may fix it too.

It's just clicking. It just clicks and then a paintball rolls out of the barrel, almost like theres no air going through the gun. Oh I don't think it has the stock board, I think it has a virtue board, so I don't know how to adjust the dwell. I'll check the solenoid wires later tonight.

Well, it's not the solenoid wires. I disconnected it and reconnect it and It still has the same problem. Adjusting the velocity didn't work either.

Find the instructions for the virtue board and adjust the dwell. Also, change the battery. That's a common problem if the battery is dead. Considering it was working that might be the problem.

I hate that some guns don't have some sort of low battery warning. I guess not working would be it, huh??

Glad you got it working Smile
