CSV Launcher Honks

Launcher Trigger Airflow Problems

If the Launcher Honks, or has low performance this is (most likely) due to inadequate trigger airflow. With some of the air dusters the valve has been turned in too far and the flow is reduced. A simple fix is to loosen the hex nut around the trigger valve plunger (the trigger presses this in). Loosen it 1/2 to 1 turn. There is an O ring seal, so the valve should not leak. The honking should stop and the launcher performance improve. If the valve is loosened too far it may leak.

Another possible cause of low trigger airflow is the air duster outlet nozzle. There are short and long outlet nozzles available for the duster. For best airflow neither of these should be installed. The outlet of the air duster should be a large threaded opening, about 1/4" in diameter. The amount of air that flows out of this opening is small, but it needs to get out quickly.

If neither of the above techniques solves the problem the trigger valve must be serviced or replaced. See the ContactUs page to make arrangements.
