Unhappy TM M4A1 not firing, mechbox is fine

Hello,

I've done some upgrades (piston, piston head, spring, spring guide, bushings), stripped some gears, installed Prometheus Torque gears and shimmed them. The mechbox seems fine, I can spin the gears one way quite easily (the spring makes them spin back) but not the other way i.e. the anti reversal latch is working, as well as the gears being connected to the piston and shimmed correctly.

When I connect the motor through the grip, usually nothing happens. There is a soft *click* and when the motor is too far away, a really loud, high pitched noise.

As I fried my 9.6v, I am condemned to using an 8.4v, could this simply have been the problem? I am using a PDI 170% which, in my experience, shouldn't affect it that much.


I've posted before on similar matters on other forums and I've been going through hell with my TM. Please, take the time to help me, my gun hasn't worked properly for half a year. And before you ask, yes, I've searched the internet.


With many thanks,

gLip
