I am brand new to airsoft, this is my first gun, and it is not firing. I have an ICS G33 AEG with a T-Plug, an Enrichpower Ni-MH 8.4 volt 1600 mAh nunchuck battery with a Mini-Tamiya, an adapter with a female T-Plug to male Mini-Tamiya, and a Tenergy smart AC charger for 8.4-9.6 volt NiMH batteries with a Mini-Tamiya. I got the gun secondhand at a garage sale (the guy I got it from said he only fired it once or twice) and everything else is brand new. So, I fully charged the battery, plugged it into the gun, turned the safety off, pulled the trigger, and nothing happened. I checked the fuse and it was fine, plugged the battery back in and made sure the it was correctly connected, and tried again. Still nothing. Can anyone help me with troubleshooting tips? Thank you for your time.
I tested the battery with a volt meter and it was pretty much fine. I found the motor connectors inside the grip and they seem firm. What could I try next?
So, when I did that, at first, the motor was too tight, but then, it loosened enough, but I couldn't hear the little thump of the piston moving forward again. I think something is wrong with the gearbox, am I on the right track?
So, at first, it was to tight to make any noise. I used a hex wrench to turn the set screw less than a half of a quarter turn at a time when suddenly, it started making a screeching/whining sound. Basically, if everything is fine with the motor and the gearbox, either I missed the right "tightness," or something IS wrong with the gearbox or the motor. By the way, I believe the battery is fine.
Then if you believe the battery is fine have a tech work on the gearbox or work on it yourself if your comfortable doing so. Only 1 way to find out what's wrong at this point. Hopefully it's something minor.
Ok, it will take me a while to do that because I'm not really able to do that myself (about the most I've done to take apart my gun is to take the handguard and the magwell off).
By the way, does anyone know what the best airsoft teams are in the Las Vegas area (or which ones could use somebody with a G33)?
