Anschutz 8001 not firing

Ok - so I have an Anschutz 8001
Occasionally- every few shots - it makes what sounds like a low powered fire - not strong enough to fire or move the pellet. I unscrew the pcp cylinder a bit and screw it back in. Then rack back the charger and it fires perfect. I will shoot some more and the again -what sounds like a low powered fire. Unscrew a bit -just enough to hear gas escape and screw back in and works perfect again for a few shots.
I can load a video link later - to show it in action - but have to create the video first.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you

Sorry, Laz.
Anschütz has a terrible opinion of their users. No trust whatsoever in the shooter, so there is no information publicly available about diagrams or exploded parts list. You can get the manual for download, but there is no information about the innards.
The fact that when you reduce the regulator "low" side pressure makes the gun work well again would seem to indicate that the problem is the regulator itself.
It is either clogged, or otherwise creeping to closure/low pressure.
In the past, I've had to disassemble the whole regulator and clean it real well, because if you use lubed pellets, there is a chance that the lube CAN enter the regulator.
As opposed to better regulator designs (Steyr, Altaros) that are "in line", the Anschütz regulator allows for a small fraction of a second when the regulator undergoes a pressure reversal. And if there is ANY lube in the system, the lube can go INTO the regulator and affect the whole thing.
Your best bet is to get in contact with Anschütz NorthAmerica and ask them to service your gun.
Sorry I cannot be of further assistance.

Afternoon from Florida Héctor.
Thank you and very useful information.
Hopefully they don’t want and arm and a lag for servicing it.
Laz

That's all we ask Laz.
The forum is a fine repository of first hand information as experienced by users.
We ALL make the forum.
Best of luck!
