Which handle the pistol grip?
If its your pistol grip you need to take off the bottom plate, remove the motor, then tighten the two screws at the top

how do u remove the motor?

as Nova said, you remove the bottem plate by unscrewing the screws that hold in on. then you disconnect the wires by grabbing them and pulling them off of the contacts on the motor.
now you grab the base of the motor with your fingers and pull it out.
look inside the pistol grip and you will find 2 screws that hold it to the base of the gear box, tighten them.
now put it all back together and you're done.

Normal that the gun won't fire?

Take the bottom plate off and check to see if one of the wires fell off the motor leads. I find this happens the odd time after you reinstall the motor plate - it pushes the motor down and one of the leads will slip off. Make sure you route both wires to the back of the pistol grip and that the motor will "bounce" easily (meaning the wires are not interfering with the motor).

Yea my motor doesnt bounce easily, feels like i actually have stuff the motor in.. is it possible my wires are to thick?

Good chance you put the wires on the wrong tabs on the motor.

Flatlander · February 4th, 2008, 13:31

Probably not. It's just a bit tricky to run the wires properly. You have to 'loop' the positive (usually red) wired around the motor shaft to the back of the pistol grip - this usually means you have to make a U-shape on either side. Make sure both wires are running beside each other and straight at the back of the pistol grip. Some times it takes a few tries to get the positive wire to loop around properly. Make sure you have that nice bounce or else your motor will not seat right and you might chew up your positive wire if/when it spins.

When you tried to pull the trigger, did anything happen (could you hear anything)?

Plug in your motor outside of the pistol grip and pull the trigger and see if it spins.

POLSKAPAT · February 4th, 2008, 13:39

Outside the grip, the motor spins, once inside and I close it in, theres no noise

POLSKAPAT · February 4th, 2008, 13:43

Ok I got it working

, i put the two wires running up the back of the grip..
Thanks alot!!

Yeah, took me several attempts to get my motor seated correctly the first time I tried to reassemble... It's a bitch bending them and getting them to stay in that little notch in the back of the grip. Once you know how though, it makes it a lot easier.

Just a recommendation - next time you need to take anything apart on your gun, check out www.mechbox.com first and take a look at their videos on Armalite disassembly and reassembly. It will tell you absolutely everything you need to know, including info like the trick to getting the motor back in right.
