I'll be tearing into it tomorrow night. Relja's was a black v2 and the one I have on hand is a v1. I suspect that the cutoff lever is rubbing or hanging up on the sector gear. I've got a spare TM one and some other gears that I'll swap in.
On Relja's 416, I did hit both the "left" and "right" sides of the cutoff lever with a file to take off any sprue or burrs, but not enough to change the functioning/dimensions. There was a big burr on the "left" side of the cutoff lever, but it was moving freely.
I'll post back more when I have something definite.
There are limits to these JG mechboxes...and the tolerances are crap.

PS. Relja, I know you were in a hurry to get it back last time. If you want me to work on it more just get it to me and I'll keep going with it. I didn't like putting it out like that but we were running out of time. Let me troubleshoot with the mechbox that I have on hand and if I make progress with it, I'll shoot you a note to arrange something.
