help co2= perfect, hpa= super inaccurate

I would check your paintballs, remote, compressed air tank & barrel installation.

When using a remote & you have firing issues, simply remove the remote & try using only your tank directly on the marker. This will tell you if your remote is restricting the air flow.

o   When using a remote always turn the on/off adapter knob all the way down until it stops, then back it off ¾ of a turn so it’s not restricting the air flow. Sometimes the on/off adapter pin that pushes the tank valve pin down will block the air flow if you don’t unscrew it a little.

Check the output pressure on you tank.

o   The 98 needs 800psi to operate. If your tank output pressure is low, it will cause your velocity to fluctuate or your marker to not re-cock. If you don’t have a gauge to check the output pressure try a co2 tank. If your marker will work with a full co2 tank then you’ll know the output pressure on the compressed air tank is too low.

Barrel installation

o   Make sure the Flatline adapter is screwed all the way in to the marker & that there is no gap between the barrel & adapter. Sometimes we'll see a small gap where the barrel slides into the adapter which causes velocity fluctuations & paint breakage.

Check your paintballs.

o   If they are low quality, not round & vary in size, then you will also experience velocity fluctuations.

If all of your internal parts look good then I would check the output pressure on your tank, make sure it's 800 PSI. Or even try a different tank & compare the performance. Some tank regulators don't put out enough pressure, or are very inconsistent. If that doesn't work you should send your marker into our service department & have them go through it.
