No worries, my ignition system takes a minute to reset anyway. Yea I'm gonna try carb cleaner next time I go out. My neighbor is a mechanic and has tons of the crap.

Sweet as mate. I've used it a few time and every time i do i go out with like 50 tennis balls and come back with like 15
they are gorn!! and i get nuts results with beer bottles with the stuff.
if you put the neak just inside the chamber when you spay some of it goes into the bottle and when you launch it the inside of the bottle is on fire!! So you can see how far they go!!

Nice, I'm wanting to try making a sabot that would work well with paintballs. My friends and I just go out in the woods and play ourselves so of course if I wanna use it I can, they all think it's great.

I'm thinking of making a meter system for my cannon cause that would be cheaper in the long run for me. It's also hard to get everything even in my chamber when I spray stuff in cause its so big.

I'm going to sleep now.

I found a nozzel that works well with starting fluid. I send 2 of them to BC so he can try them too. We will see what he thinks.

Starting fluid all the way! :D

Yeah, I was down at an automotive store today and they had Start Ya Bastard. The name brand version was on sale, but it was still a dollar or so a bottle more expensive. I usually use Everstart and carb/choke cleaner, as seperate products. But, Start Ya Bastard does have it's uses.
I'm weird, I know it, you don't need to tell me.
