Kraken motor adjustment
 
Hi, i was wondering where the hex screw for the kraken motor was. Can u take pictures cause im completely baffled by it.(its my first airsoft and so far i love it.)

Under the grip/motor housing?

nickx271x July 15th, 2008 00:30

see i looked and i dont see a hex scre just a screw where the grip goes into.

Take the pistol grip off.

Where in the hole that the screw goes into, you'll find the motor height adjustment.

I took off the plastic and cant see a hex can u take a pic and what size is the hex cuz i cant see anything in that hole.

Amos July 15th, 2008 01:17

I think it's either .5mm 1mm or 1.5mm

You can't see it.

There's a large hole where the grip screw fits in, and at the bottom is the motor height adjustment allen screw.

it might just be too dark in my room. ill check tmmorow im gonna go to bed night. oh and thankx for the help;

i been having trouble adusting mine. it keeps coming loose and letting the motor lower too low and then i raise it back up and it just comes back down after a few shots even with electrical tape around the motor. and no matter where i adjust it to it sounds really grindy like.
its not ok if the gearbox sounds really loud like that is it?

it makes a rreerrrow noise instead of the normal weeowk noise of my other aeg's

Locktite might help with the loose adjustment screw. If it always sounds like you describe, I'd assume poor shimming.

Dusti69 July 16th, 2008 22:13

yea i adjusted the motor so it sits in the middle most position which makes it sound better, but not much.
i did add some more lithium grease to feed through the gears. while doing so i noticed the gear the motor hits moves up and down in its bushings and the gearbox so youre probly right and it needs some extra shims

Shimming a gun like a Kraken is usually a pretty good idea. If you are going to reshim it, order some metal bushings too and swap them while you have the mechbox open.

Dusti69 July 16th, 2008 22:24

yea ill totally have to get around to doing that asap. or else i spose my gears will be fucked after seeing the once whitish grease now as grey as the gears themselves
and i already have systema metal bushings in it.
