massive problem

[craig]

right so ive just installed a new spring into my tm m4 ris and ive put it back together and its not working i think it's the motor as it spins grand out side the grip but not when its inside can some one please help as i need it ready before friday so please help

Have you adjusted the motor height

 

[craig]

nope

 

[Deva]

You may have knocked it or something so might be worth trying.. I'm assuming if it was too tight the motor wouldn't be able to turn?

 

[M_P]

Ok well on the bottom of the pistol grip there will be a large flat head grub screw, don't do it all the way up, loosen it till it works.

Yea dev, if its too tight the motor won't turn at all

 

[craig]

its still not working now this is really starting to piss me off

what about the anti reversal thing would that lock the gears and the motor in place?

 

[Liam Porter]

Is it doing anything or making any sound at all?

My M4 had similar problem to this, I took it apart to fix the mag release, motor span fine out the gun, but once back together, it did nothing, just clicked when I pulled the trigger..

 

[craig]

same how did you fik it

 

[Liam Porter]

It was my batteries causing the problem. No idea how. I tried different ones, works fine now.

 

[craig]

yeah its not the batteries now since i put i back to the way it was you can hear the motor spinning but thats it

 

[Deva]

You can hear the motor spinning when its fitted inside the gun?

 

[craig]

yes but its not spinning the gears

 

[Deva]

Sounds like you need to tighten the motor height adjustment screw. Previously we said to loosen it because you couldn't hear it inside the gun so you've gone too far by the sounds of it.

1. Maybe the gears are too tight inside (lock up). Have you touched/removed & replaced the shims? Maybe a shimming problem.

2. Have you reconnected the wiring terminal correctly in the motor terminal (positive wire should be on the Red motor terminal and negative on the other). The motor will still spin if the wiring is reversed outside the pistol grip but won't spin your gears if its inside.

ooops.... just realised i made a necropost
