Yea it stays and doesnt float freely. So i guess i have found the problem, cause the wires arent on the same side. The red wire is the longer one and needs to cross over on top. Also both the wires are coming out on opposite sides and run straight up. Do i need to take the grip off. and put both through the same hole that has the groove on it?

Okay, there are five holes in the grip. One (the big center one) is where the pinion gear and motor shaft go. Two of them are for the screws that hold then handle to the mechbox. The other two are for the wires. One wire should be threaded through each hole. Do NOT run both wires through the same hole.
One of your wires will be longer than the other (in mine I think it's the red wire that's longer, but don't quote me on that). The longer wire has to cross along the top of the grip cavity. Make sure that it's not obstructing that center hold where the motor drive-shaft goes. Then both wires run along the same side of the motor. On the bottom, one of the wires crosses back over to make its connection (which is why it's longer).
Okay, things to keep in mind: 1) Immediately upon entering the grip cavity, the longer wire needs to make a hard turn across the "top" of the grip cavity such that it gets close to the other wire. 2) In doing so, it should not obstruct the center hole. 3) Once the motor is inserted (but before the wires are hooked up) the motor should be able to be pushed freely in the grip cavity and should spring back out easily. If it doesn't, re-seat your wires and try again. 4) Connect the wires. The motor should still be able to be pushed easily into the grip, and should spring back out. 5) In crossing the bottom of the motor to make the connection, the longer wire should be kept clear of the center of the motor (where the spacer cup on the bottom plate sits). DO NOT get the crossing wire between the grip plate spacer and the motor, nor between the spacer and the plate itself.
Does this make sense?

Well munin your information was invaulable. I put the red wire in like you said and after a couple of tries to get it to fit in their proper and have enough slack to go across the top of the engine i finally got the engine to set right. I still dunno if it works though, i broke the clip on the wire when bending it the wrong way i guess.

Well, keep us posted once you get that connector reattached. As always, glad to help.

Well munin thanks for that last bit of info again. Savage came over and we put the new clips on and fixed it all up. The engine sprang up and down like its suppose to now and i played yesterday with it shooting about 400 rounds. So its working like its suppose to. Couldnt imagine it could have been something simple. but once again thanks
