gun adjustments

[fxstcguy98]

Hey guys,
I just bought one of those $25 Caswells hobby guns that needs refurbished. Since I haven't used a PC gun before, I need to know what are good settings to start with on the gun to see if it works properly. Should the regulating screw be tight or a certain number of turns from the seated position. What about the pressure reducing valve, should it be halfway in or again a certain number of turns? Lastely, the emitter how far into the gun should it be, is it even supposed to slide?

i would like to know that to. seeing how i need to get all the info on this gun i can .. I got a bad board in mine and i am waiting to figure it out .. I don;t know much about this type of gun I been using the other type

I usually back the reg screw out a full turn and spray . not all powders are equal and sometimes you may neeed to run the screw out a bit more, your air pressure can effect the setting also , as for the scatter tip i have mine set at 3/16 from the tip.

Blademan.... Standby for a very important phone call

But i need to give you a ring.

I hope you have better luck then I did. Below is a message I sent to Caswell after receiving the answer to my questions about what I purchased. I hope this goes through. It might just be considered not exceptable for the forum.

I purchased 3 of your $25. systems. I am new to the PC world. I had some questions. I sent them to your customer service for some help and maybe some answers.
This is the reply I just received;

"No idea, sorry. We're not electronics experts here.

That's why we dumped them."

Is this the kind of cooperation and service I can expect from your company?

That is why they sold them so cheap... i may be able to help you out a little on this what is it you need ?

I'll be getting mine shortly, and I can probably help you out once I look inside.

What did you end up getting? A used unit with an extra power supply that needs to be installed, or something like that?

what about these guns? i was one of the first people to message them about a gun, i i have not recieved any notification about it yet.. i see you all have your guns tho, oh well i guess.

Give them a phone call, maybe they still have some.

You have to call them to get a gun. I got mine and all it needed was a good cleaning. I am still unclear about where to position the 3 pronged metal leshie , I mean emitter. Can someone tell me how far back it is?
