Just making sure, what brand of BBs have you been using? You haven't somehow developed a jam, have you?

.Andrew. · August 11th, 2007, 16:59

I dont think there is a jam, im useing metal tech .20 bb's..where would there be a jam?

.Andrew. · August 11th, 2007, 17:00

when i pull the trigger, it goes "click" and when i let go of the trigger it will click...its either that, or i loosen the screw on the bottom by the motor and then the motor is to low and it will spin and like grind against stuff. Make the whining noise.

Stop messing with your motor height adjustment before you break something else. Sounds like your mechbox has seized up, but a number of things could cause that.

Try setting your hopup to zero and running the unjamming rod to check for barrel obstruction.

theres nothign in the barrel iv just checked it all. Im gonan talk to the guy tonight and see if he can get it all running for me.

The arrow indicates which direction to turn to add more hopup, turning in the opposite direction would decrease the hopup.

.Andrew. · August 11th, 2007, 17:49

Just put the hop up to zero and nothign is in the barrel. Could the battery have anythign to do with this? not haveing enough power yet to turn the gears. but yet it turns the motor.

What size of battery...

The clicking could mean the motor is up to far, just back it out slowly shooting one semi shot at a time untill it fires, if it wails, tighten it up a bit more, if u cant get it to shoot, ur gears are jammed inside, or ur shimming is shit.

The Saint · August 11th, 2007, 17:54

As I said, it sounds like your mechbox has seized up. If you haven't been able to resolve the problem by switching between semi and auto, you might need to have your mechbox opened to fix the problem.

I highly recommend against you doing it yourself.

Yea im not gonna do anythign inside myself...im going to charge the batter up full...try what renegade said and if that dont work im gonna take it somewhere. Are there any places in the durham region that i could take it to? Or somewhere close to get it fixed?.

.Andrew. · August 11th, 2007, 18:00

and renegade i think he told me it was a 8.somethign volt battery. large battery.

The Saint · August 11th, 2007, 18:03

8.4v, all airsoft batteries are a multiple of 1.2v, 7 cells makes 8.4v.

.Andrew. · August 11th, 2007, 18:04

Yea thats it. but iv been taking it on and off of its charge over the hour so maybe i shoudl let it charge fully then try

.Andrew. · August 11th, 2007, 18:27

The gears shouldnt be broken already. it doesnt look like its been through alot of use..he said hes never really used it and it was working perfectly yesturday and early today. the battery is new so do you think it will take more then an hour to charge?

I got this from a site sellin the same gun i have

Battery Charging Time: Charging time may vary because most of the batteries were tested. If the battery is strong, 1-2 hours. Weak, 3-4 hours. If the battery is dead, the initial charge is 12 hrs but do not exceed.
