Hey guys,
It seems I have solved the tappet plate issue and modified a SHS nylon tappet plate that is shorter than the stop lonex one and fits pretty good. I am now however, experiencing another problem.
I was working on finishing my gearbox again last night (broken record much?), and I seem to have some across a new problem... YAY!! I think I will name this gearbox; Christine... Anyways, When I put it all together, and get the motor in to test it, as soon as I pull the trigger, it pulls the piston all the way back, but won't release it OR just whines a bit and wont move the piston at all. I checked the gears to see if they were shimmed properly, and they are and spinn 2-3 times before stopping on their own in the gearbox when shimming (however, could it be the bevel gear is slightly too tight, stopping the motor from turning the gears as a whole as it takes a lot of torque to pull 10.44:1 gears??? Being too tight might stop it?). I did not mess with the motor height as the gears I put into it were exactly the same, just a different ratio (Siegetek 14.09:1 to siegetek 10.44:1, SSG both short-stroked the 3 teeth). The motor "hums" when I pull the trigger, making it seem like all the electrical is working and that the motor wants to go, but it wont release the piston or even pull it at times (numerous dis-assemblies and re-assemblies). I modified the SHS tappet plate to match the lonex one and it moves backwards and forwards properly. What do you think this could be. Frankly, I am getting extremely frustrated with this thing as it has been months of work to get it even to this point, and every time I fix an issue, a brand new one, out of nowhere, arises. Do you guys have any ideas as to where to trouble shoot this issue (as most of my research hasn't lead to much as the seemingly common answer was "check your battery", which is no help to me as my batteries are fine). Please let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Flarebrass
