I stripped my gun apart, took out the mech box, put in the longer ( much longer..are they supposed to be that much longer? ) spring. Put it partially back together and fired it. The piston cocks back, but does not actually fire.
I figured, hey, it's my first time and I didn't actually break anything. So I strip it back apart, ( spring under tension ----> sprong! ). I read on the internet about timing and shimming. The factory shim still appears to be fine. I strip it apart, put the factory spring back in, it works just fine. I put the huge and stiff M120 spring back in and it cocks the piston back but does not fire.
I do this about 6 times until I finally break the tappet plate during one of the dis-assemblies under main spring pressure. While my new tappet plates ( why order 1 when 2 is only double the price? ) on on the way. What am I doing wrong? It is behaving as if my battery is to weak, or the motor doesn't have enough power to compress the spring to the breakover point.
Did I order the wrong spring? ( and I if I did, what is the right one? )
Thanks,
Squidi

wow,,,where to start,,,,,i guess first off heavy springs and winter play do not mix well. suggest you put the stock spring back in and wait for better weather and do some research on your weapon. here,,see if this helps you out.

this tutorial also suggests that you replace the nylon bushings with quality metal ones,,like i said,,just put it back together for now and keep playing. you can always just lay down some more ammo if you are wearinf all those layers
.once you have researched as much as you can and the weather lightens up,,by all means go ahead and upgrade.
