The Jackal Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Rear cap (item 7B) needs turning clockwise to increase hammer spring pressure, thus increasing power. (Always use a chronograph). Buddy bottles either over or under pressure. Hammer and floating inertia not assembled correctly. (see exploded diagram). Oil in/on the hammer. It should run dry of lubricant. Theoben 008 main valve seal flattened and surface enlarged, therefore slowing the flow of air. Remedy: change Theoben 008 main seal described on service sheet . http://www.theoben.co.uk/frameset.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Ady, Your rapid if new should be giving you much more than 9.8 on the Chrono I would not mess about with it yourself but pop it back to the dealer. Or if not new talk to Theben direct i think you will find them very Helpful FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
