GX cs4 cs4-i duty cycle update from Manufacturer
- Thread starter 1900colt
- Start date
I don't know if he ever blead out the factory one, if not, high temps would definitely occur.
You can actually feel the air blowing out warmer at the bottom and cooler at the top when there is air trapped in the radiator.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
Yes it was. I ran it for several minutes and then topped off the water again with distilled water. I'll try removing any air out of the system next. I frequently held my hand in front of the air exhaust and while it was warm, it was never hot.

Follow that video, just filling without tilting it will not get the air pocket cleared. Only easy way I know of to get it completely filled is by tilting it while the pump is running.

Ok at 3:30 hours at 79.6 f 3327psi went upstairs to watch a show with wife. Came back at 4:30 hours and it wasn’t filled.
I suspect a leak in the new valve that I quickly put on . Anyway at 4:30 hours it’s 82 degrees f , 4100 psi.
Filling the 6.8 is going to take longer than the 9. Maybe didn’t tighten something.

Are you in an area where you can hear the pump? If it turned off for periods would you have heard it?

Ok final results, why did it take longer than the 9 liter.
We‘ll see overnight, ohhh forget that , I’m watching the huma gauge
go down . So it did get to 4500 psi in 5:20 81.6 degrees f
at least an hour too long.
no it didn’t turn off

that's awful, fill up a tank and take so long and then it's leaking out.. I'd be very frustrated..
probably took longer to fill because of the leak..
a note I'd take from that is if I was to work on a bottle, guess it should be aired up to 100-500 and then soap test for leaks..
lots of time on the compressor and then probably wasted overnight leaking out. likely whatever the leak is, probably have to be empty and change a o ring or something..

Just to clarify... it's just a "recommendation" for the cs4. Not that you can't do it. As seen, these can still run 5hrs. I do not see any issues doing so.
It is mostly the paintball and airsoft guys wanting faster fill times, so the k5 is offered up.
Bleed the air from the radiator and these things will chug along without issue. Just be sure to purge the water trap every now and then.

All considered but you see I have a mobility problem. Ankle surgery Monday and not as good as I used to be on crutches.
I had to painfully hop to rig up and had a better valve but this was in reaching distance..
Worse , I just looked post op instructions and it will be non weight bearing for at least 8 weeks. Bummer

wow that's too bad, I really hope you get feeling better soon.. hopefully they will fix you up good so things heal up quickly and correctly so you can get around well.
wishing you a speedy recovery

Turns out it was my Huma digital gauge hose fitting that was leaking. Still gonna replace the one in the tank now. The main shut off is kinda small to handle.

Hopefully your better by summer, being laid up at that time is no fun, especially if you like doing outdoor activities in the without freezing.
And glad you found the leak, at least it was something simple.

Well, my GX CX4-I turned itself off after a while (irregular times, 15min, 25min, etc.).
I lived with it for a while. Finally, the inevitable trip to my gunsmith...:
Result: The water pump wasn't working — easily detected by observing the return hole not chugging out cooling liquid into the reservoir when pumping.
Forget warranty claims, I'm in Peru.
AliExpress has the water pump for a handful of dollars.

Nice to know that it's an easy fix and the machine shut itself off prior to destroying itself. I have a new JTS version still sitting in the box downstairs.Well, my GX CX4-I turned itself off after a while (irregular times, 15min, 25min, etc.).
