CSV Launcher Troubleshooting
Launcher Honks
If the Launcher makes a resonant sound when fired see
CsvHonks.
Launcher has Low Performance
If the launcher fails to reach the usual height and seems underpowered, it is usually due to inadequate trigger airflow. See
CsvHonks.
Launcher Main Valve Leaks
The main valve may leak if bits of PVC get into the main valve seat. This generally happens when bits of PVC left over from the tapping operation on the pressure chamber find their way into the valve. See
CsvValveCleaning. If it occurs repeatedly see
CsvTankCleaning.
Pressure Safety Valve Leaks
The Pressure Safety Valve can leak if bits of PVC get into the valve seat. See
PsvCleaning.
Pressure Safety Valve Releases at Low Pressure
The Pressure Safety Valves come preset at 100 psi from the vendor. They can be readily adjusted slightly if needed. See
PsvAdjustment.
CSV Launcher Broken
Dropping the Launcher on a hard surface can cause the PVC to fracture, especially at low temperature. In many cases this can be repaired. See
CsvRepairs.
