Hard draw on 510 cartos with Buzz?

[FAAmecanic]

Hey all,

Interesting issue... I havent had a problem with my Buzz in the week and a half I have had it, but all of a sudden Im having a hard draw on all my cartos (even brand new ones with no juice in them). I take them off the buzz and they draw fine... is there something I need to adjust on the buzz to fix this (screw in the middle?)? And why would this happen all of a sudden?

Some cartos have a different bottom profile and MATCH the curve of the screw !! best thing to do is get some slotted screws M2 size , we have them or a Hobby shop with RC cars. this will fix it , all cartos are different and change all the time ! keeps us working .

Strange as Im using the same cartos as I was last week (different order of them) and didnt have a problem Boge 510's SR.

Anything I should know about changing out the screw (will I loose anything inside the buzz if I unscrew it), or can I just unscrew it and repalce it?

Oh snap! Guess I'm going to have to get me some screws! I am really "skeered" to mess with it though.

I THINK you can unscrew that top screw without worry of anything on the other side of the top cap dropping down (not sure).

I went to 5 different hobby, RC aircraft/car places and NONE had the M2 slotted screws.... one place had a alan head, but I didnt have a alan head wrench small enough for it.

PM comming to you mike....

There are some parts in the top cap under the screw , Be careful to NOT loose them , do it on a table with a piece of paper or ?? under it to hold the parts in case they want to take off !

Must be the last batch of cartos from Boge had a different die or something for the bottoms..... this sucks (or doesnt suck which is the problem)

 

[908Tracy]

You DO have to be really careful with that top screw FAA. There's a wire on the inside that you don't want to break off! Wait to hear from Mike.

(that's why I said I'm "skeered" to mess with it)

Ya the damn things change all the time ! Its like chasing snakes man !

I tried filing the center of the carto bottom down a bit with a nail file!!!! (quit laughing now y'all) ;P It seemed longer than some of the others in the same box. Didn't work though!!! Plthhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Damn cartos!

 

[BuzzKill]

Try filing a slot in the carto contact , that MIGHT help ???

 

[BuzzKill]

If you need slotted screws just email me , we will send some out to ya /.

Thanks Mike...I think I will ask for some screws as I threw away 2 cartos the other day.

I may have to line up a few shots though before attempting to mess with that top, just to steady my hands!!!! lol

It's not that bad Tracy! Just follow Ruppy's picture tutorial on the "Replacing the Top Cap" thread in the stickies.

And I am laughing about you using a finger nail file! But only because I use an old one to smooth the slots after I use the dremel on a carto

A girl after my own heart!!! lol If I had another BP I wouldn't be so darn afraid. Well that, and those tiny parts with my long nails might not play so well together, ya know? Just afraid I will mess it up and be without while it takes a trip to the buzzpital. =( Me + No VV = unhappy vaper!

My fear as well...especially since Im only 2 weeks into no cigs... My wife kids me that my Buzz Pro is like Linus with his blanket (from Peanuts), or my pacifier..lol

Hopefully I will get my screws first and I will do mine. Let ya know how it goes

I'm a year in and my Buzz and/or Infinity is like my pacifier. I was a thumb sucker as a child, started smoking young...huh can you say oral fixation

(get your minds out of the gutter you pervs)

 

[908Tracy]

Oops, forgot to email Mike about those screws. I will wait for you to go first then FAA!

LOL minx! My BP is getting so much usage, I'm wearing my beloved purple right off!!! You really do learn how to do things one handed when you own a Buzz!!!!
