im just looking for people with similar problems who can point me to what i need to fix.

Then find another one? Why? This is the kind of thing that is fixed faster if seen.

And local to where? Canada? I can fix guns too, but I never feel bad about finding another person who knows more.

dude i live in NS and i know for a fact that there is no one close by that knows anything about fixing airsoft guns. i know my local scene and im the gun guy. i know i can fix this problem i just come to this section of ASC because thats what its for, to find info. its not a pride thing its a cash thing.

Fair enough. Just add 'Nova Scotia' to your profile? Maybe the city like many of us do?
All we can suggest is a total review of shimming, gear timing, gear type, battery-power VS type of gear, type of piston, gear-teeth meshing, electrical system, contact surfaces and so on.

If you're 100% sure you've done all this, then you covered all the bases and your choices are now limited.
