- Investigate non-firing GEN8 M4SS
- --------------------------------------
- Findings
- :Main wiring loom loose, shorting and frayed - wires not connected - poorly soldered
- :Trigger switch not soldered properly and negative wire loose
- :Positive magazine terminal wire frayed and damaged - poorly soldered
- :Bad wire joins - poor soldering
- :Gears NOT shimmed
- :Spur gear excess friction top and bottom - causing stress to gearbox, motor and wearing bushes
- :Bushes not glued in or shimmed properly - coming loose, potential for catastrophic gearbox failure
- :Gearbox dry and not lubricated sufficiently
- :Barrel t-piece bad seal and leaking
- :Piston metal rack angle of engagement (AOE) incorrect - sector not disengaging at piston rearwards position causing catastrophic gearbox jam
- Repairs carried out:
- :Main wiring loom rewired, bad joins fixed and checked
- :Trigger switch replaced and resoldered
- :Positive magazine terminal wire heat shrink applied and protected
- :Gears properly shimmed, top and bottom - gears do two revolutions unlubricated with minimal effort - correct gear mesh and contact
- :Entire gearbox degreased and regreased - INOX MX6 silicone grease applied to gears and plastics, RC silicone shock oil applied to orings and cylinder
- :Bushes glued in place and shimmed
- :Barrel t-piece painted with glue sealant - no leaks
- :Barrel properly cleaned and defects removed
- :All gearbox and receiver screws treated with anti rust
- :Return spring treated with anti rust
- :Trigger reseated with spring correctly placed
- :All wiring inspected and appears in an OK condition
- :1 brass bushing replaced due to damage
- :First tooth on piston rack shaved down to correct AOE and allow sector to disengage and piston to return forwards
- No other items were replaced and are left in an 'as is' condition.
- Chrono test returned average 285FPS using 'gold packet' milkies.
- Recommendations:
- :Keep up with regular maintenance and servicing
- :Entire wiring loom redone/replace
- :Reduce spring size or upgrade to higher quality battery (turnigy)
- Cost:
- POL use:
- :INOX grease
- :RC silicone shock oil
- :CRC 2-26
- :Cyanoacrylate
- Consumables:
- :6x shims
- :1x brass bushing
- :Solder
- :Heat shrink
- :Wire
- :Microswitch
- Labour:$60 (@30/hr)
- Total: $60.00
