So the hex screw and not the screws holding the plate in?

Since I dont have a battery for the gun what would you recommend i use?

Yes the hex screw, NOT the other two Philips screws.

You'll need a 8-9 volt power supply of some kind. Be creative...

*insert disclaimer*

Ok. I got it to shoot but on single shot it shoots 2 BB's and if it doesnt shoot 2 they dont go very far.

I am assuming that this is an Aftermath Broxa or Lycaon. If so, the hopup , especially the rubber, is a POS. Will give you problems like that.

Both are actually pretty decent clearsoft starters, as the mechbox is not half bad. Get a new hopup rubber and shim the mechbox. It should last you long enough to realize that you are addicted to this sport. Unless of course you are underage and can't play anywhere- that would just suck.

This will most likely fix your problem but also turn down your hopup. You most likely have it to high.

i just tried to fire my gun today since i got it, the motor turns great when i take it out. but as soon as i put it in the gun, it wont work. does it mean the battery is too weak? i charged it for 2.5 hours the night before. dumb charger, Elite 1500mah 9.6v.

which charger? a fully charge 9.6v 1500mah should easily turn that mechbox assuming it's a stock spring or a slight upgrade.

either your battery is not charged enough, the motor is dying, or there's something else seriously wrong with your mechbox ie: shimmed wrong or something's broken

its a dumbcharger. a cheap one that comes with a gun.

Ok. so I was told the battery adaptor on my gun is a small one and is kind of a light green color. where can i get one of those at? it needs to be a 8.4v 2300mah

Try Huang, or airsoftparts.ca, or your local R/C hobby shop should have one. The connector you have is called a "Mini Tamiya" connector.

Blind fire can you take pictures of your;
Open Mechbox,
Your Gears,
Motor and;
torque screw

Have you upgraded your springs recently?
