M4 Problems

[Andree]

Hey guys i had some problems with my m4 today, just tryin to figure out what it was... When i was running around i went to shoot and nothing happend...(i fired off 2 mags alredy and this was on the 3rd mag) I could tell the bat had a charge but then it would fire on ocasion... i took the forgrip off and held the battery up and it shot, then didnt shoot... I got to the point where i could tell the battery had to be held at the connection, How do i fix that? I tried to look at it but couldnt come up with too much...

Then the 2nd note... when the battery had the problems when i was on semi auto it would shoot full auto! It has done that once before but i cant figure out why it doesn that... any ideas?

I would assume it's a mini battery. Now I would double check your connector into the gun, and possibly your connection at the fuse plate. I can't say I've seen this happen on mine, though the fuse plate is gone so it's a little different. None the less check your connections, you could have a loose connection at the fuse. You also could have stretched the female connectors. If they seem like they are spead to far you could use a straight pin or something else to close them a little and allow a better connection.

Well i am in the process of taking it appart however i dont kno if i will be able to get it all back together ;D JK im good with this stuff, however in the process i figured it isnt the connection with the battery, However when i pull the motor out and shoot the motor spins like crazy! When i put the motor back into the grip and put it back together it doesnt spin, I am guessing my spring could be too tough for the 8.4v... And my fuse box was taken out so it could have the 9.4 numbchuck battery...He said upgraded to 400 fps.... Is it just my 8.4v minni?

motor could be out of alignment {sp} try fidling with the little screw on the bottem of the motor plate{someone use better terms if this is wrong}

I tried, but the screw is gone.... so i tried with my hand, didnt work it was too tight or wouldnt touch, so i gave it to knief after i took the gun appart, Hes good i have confidents ;D

That makes one of us.

I haven't gotten a chance to look at it yet - just got back from work.
