Gun Not Firing

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.

Check motor connectors to see if they are on and volt test the battery. Fully charged under no load you should be getting ~9.8V+.

Pull the motor and hook up the battery...does it spin the motor outside of they grip?

If it does...they wires on the motor may be wrong.

Make sure it spins the correct direction outside the grip, doing so inside can damage the holes the anti reversal latch sits in.



But how long have those batteries been sitting? Maybe they are messed up and don't hold much power anymore? Not enough to cycle at least

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.

But now his motor height maybe messed up...

The motor hight is too loose. Tighten it back up to what it was. I hate to say this, but your gearbox is likely locked up.

As Ben said, make sure your motor is spinning in the right direction and that the wires are on the correct terminals.
I am working on getting the gun to a place that can look at it, but it might be a while before I can do that.
