allright you get tons of questions asking about dwell constantly am i right
you will need a screwdriver and about 5 minutes of your time.
1. pressurize your ion and set it to whatever pressure you want it to run at (don't go above 200 psi due to risk of blowing the solenoid.) note: just because it is a lower op pressure does not mean more efficiency.
(second note: most ions cannot run under 120 psi. if you are not very familiar with your ion then set it at about 170-180.)
2. then open up the grips to get to the board. turn the gun on and then you will see where there is a gray button next to the microswitch.
3. press that grey button until you get a solid red led light (1 time). once you do that press and hold the power button for a minute.
4. once you have completed step 3 press the gray button until you get a solid yellow led light.
5. once you get that solid light press your gun to fire (eyes off and no paint). your gun will not cycle completely and will have a odd sound. keep upping the dwell until it fully cycles.
(odd sound is similar to just a puff)
6. once it fully cycles press the gray button again and go to the solid yellow light and press the on button 5 times.
you have just optimized the dwell. thank you.
coming up next: HOW TO PHYSICALLY CAP THE STOCK BOARD. and in semi tourney's this helps you alot. physically capping the board actually gives you better efficiency because of adiabitic heating. basically it means that the bolt still moves at whatever speed your gun can currently shoot which causes more friction.

well i'll show you how to do it in a few simple steps (i don't have pics but i'll eventually have videos me and a co-partner made.)you will need a screwdriver and about 5 minutes of your time.
