CA m15 motor issues?

[diamond_SEA]

Just an update:
It works!!

I want to extend a huge thanks to Kevorkian for hooking me up with the correct stock CA internals. It most definetly was the spring guide, as the correct one looked nowhere like the one that was in the mechbox. A little bit of work and time and this gun will be up and running very well!

PS: i broke the spring to the anti-reversal latch... I remember there was a thread debating the need for the latch. Is there any repercussions for going without it for a long time?

I had something like that happen but It just turned out that the hop-up was cranked to far

there is no additional damage in not having an anti reversal latch, but when firing on auto, after firing you hear the spring push the piston forward again, spinning the gears backward, making an annoying noise.

i think i have an extra spring laying around, would you like it?

[diamond_SEA]

well... i did have it all back and working, now i have electrical problems, its shorting out.... this is really really pissing me off!!!

[Caped_crusadar]

how do you know its shorting

[diamond_SEA]

connect the battery, motor and everything, pull the trigger and nothing shoots but the wires and battery get very hot. The wiring on this thing is the shits. insulation is cut everywhere, so im really not surprised, i was just hoping id get away with not having to replace the wiring.

[KEVORKIAN]

I've got a stock trigger/switch assembly????

[diamond_SEA]

i think once i get new wires and get everything nice, ill take it to a gundoc to assemble it nicely.

[Caped_crusadar]

if it was a short, wouldn't it be getting hot before you pull the trigger?

does your motor buzz?
and check your trigger tabs, the ones that touch the selector plate, make sure they aren't touching.

[diamond_SEA]

no motor buzz, its possible its in the trigger.

I have no experiance with v2 mechboxs. all my experiance is with the v3 with, in my opinion, a much more simple trigger mechanism.

I know it must be me, since i had it firing on full auto. Its only when i took it apart to fix semi-auto that these new issues occured.

[Caped_crusadar]

but v2 and v3 are similar, and from this point id just send it to a gun doc
