Hello!
So good news is I got my aics back up and running again. I did some research before giving it a test run to see how the adjustments work on the PCS bolt. Unfortunately it seemed that alot of sources were indirect. Forgive me if a am asking a basic questions but I appreciate all the help.
Anyways I spent about two hours trying some experiments with the bolt. First I played around with the striker spring screw (supposedly the one that adjusts the fps). I did realize deferences in power (they were chronod). I also realized that my tanaka will only fire when it is tightened past 1/2 way. Then I played around with that large screw in the bolt that can be seen from the hole in the bottom (not sure what it's called). I also notices that it had a big impact on fps which I hadn't read anywhere else.
Leaving the striker spring screw 3/4 tight I noticed that when I tightened the (nameless) screw it raised the fps but if I tightened past a certain point or loosened past a certain point it seemed to reduce its power output.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction on how to balance both parts? How can I achieve the most fps reliably? Can you explain the purpose of each part?
I hope I have made myself clear and if not let me know.
Thank you!!
