First,hello there! I've been having issues with this gun for 7 months already,been using it but it keeps frustrating me that its not working how it should. It was Specna Arms E19 with its orion gearbox...poop gearbox cracked,replaced it with retroarms cnc gearbox and thats when problems started...one would think ok thats the problem,all the parts are the same from old gearbox and what changed is the shell...but i tried different shell aswell,same problem. Can't find anyone else with same problem. Today got sick of it and decided to make a video and either fix the problem or sell everything and give up on all tech work and just plant potatoes in my garden and live a simple life.
Opened up quite a bit of gearboxes v2,v3,v6 in the past 2 years,they all ended up working ever since...but what i cant fix is my own gun
1st shot low fps
2'nd shot good fps
next shot-low
next shot-good
etc...
Untill i spam semi/full auto and after that it is alright for awhile(untill i stop shooting for couple of minutes)
Curent build on M4 MK18 Specna Arms E19:
Jefftron Leviathan with active braking and cycle microswitch,so the cut off lever is out
Barrel: 6.02 Stainless Steel 270mm ZCI,same problem on stock barrel aswell
Gearbox: Retroarms CNC V2 Gearbox
Maxx hopup: tried changing to 2 others >same outcome
HOP UP: Maxx adjustable nozzle - tried 3 others m4 nozzle, >same outcome
Bucking: Maple leaf macaron 60*(yellow) - tried maple leaf green and madbull red shark > same outome
Gears: 18:1 short stroked gears - tried 2 other sets and without short stroke > same outcome
Spring: M130 > same problem with weaker ones and non-SS gears
Tappet plate: Reinforced Tappet Plate V2 [FPS SOFTAIR] Orange - Tried stock and 2 others
Motor: Tornado F1 High Torque Gen.2 Motor,same problem with stock motor
Cylinder: stock SA,tried 2 others
Piston: SHS blue one with metal teeth
Piston head and cylinder head are mushroom type,had same problems with stock aswell
-Changed o-rings on everything,compression is excellent(when i hold the nozzle with finger and push piston)
-Tappet plate is moving freely inside the gearbox,not getting stuck on something as far as i can see
-Different mags dont make difference either
-Praying in front of the gun didnt do anything either
The main mistery is that it shoots 1 good,1 bad,1good etc...untill i have a feeling something "heats up" and then it shots perfectly every hit...if its some mis-alignment or tappet plate issues it would keep on being broken and not get "fixed" once i get frustrated and shoot a bit xD
Open to ANY suggestions,can quickly open up gearbox and take pictures and check whatever needed as long as it makes sense. Posted on couple more forums/threads so will update quickly if there is progress.
