    Umarex Zelos Hammer Spring Adjustment

    Here are a few data points for new Zelos owners: I increased my regulator pressure to 2250 psi and was able to screw in the hammer spring adjustment 2 turns from full out to get a maximum velocity average of about 975 fps with 18.14 gr Diablos. Screwed back out 2 turns gives an average...

    Yong Heng, Radiator vs Ice, my results so far (Video added)

    While a radiator would be fun to fiddle with and would make sense if I were charging bottles one after another all day long, I've found that starting with a big enough tub of cold enough water gets a full charge on my 3 L bottle without overheating the pump. YMMV pick a method that suits your...

    Umarex 3rd Zelos has Issues. Anyone else having issues??

    Got my Zelos about a week ago and have put about 500 shots thru it with out any problem I didn't create myself. Right out of the box after zeroing the scope it shot 191 - 10X on the 30 yard challenge. When I fooled around and adjusted the trigger I got into a situation that required me to...

    Umarex Zelos Hammer Spring Adjustment

    I'm not so worried about correcting an oversprung valve. I'd just like to know that once I get the regulator pressusre and hammer spring tension set properly that I won't have to mess with it if I change pellet weight, assuming I'm willing to accept a change in fps.

    Does pellet weight affect proper tuning of the hammer spring for a given regulator setting,

    Umarex Zelos Hammer Spring Adjustment

    When I back off all the way on the hammer spring I get about 905 fps. When I turn the spring in fps decreases about 5 fps per half turn.

    Umarex Zelos Hammer Spring Adjustment

    Thanks again for the answers. I think I finally understand what's going on. My goal is accuracy and maximum number of consistent shots, not fps. If I decreased regulator pressure to 1500 psi, what is the chance that I can get on the right side of the curve (knee) so that tuning the hammer...

    Umarex Zelos Hammer Spring Adjustment

    Thanks all for the input, but I guess my main concern is that when I turn the hammer spring screw in (clockwise), increasing spring compression, shouldn't fps increase? Just the opposite seems to be happening.

    Umarex Zelos Hammer Spring Adjustment

    Trying to tune my new Zelos, but the hammer spring adjustment has me confused. The regulator pressure is set to 2000 psi, and with the screw adjustment for the hammer spring turned all the way out, I'm gettin about 905 fps with 21 gr Barracudas. As I turn the screw in (clockwise) velocity goes...
