Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - JG G3, occasional full auto bursts in semi?

Well, I took apart the G3 earlier, cleaned out the gearbox while I was at it and everything seemed to be in order.

Cut off lever was fine, no issues there so that won't need replacing.

The only thing I noticed was carbon residue on the trigger contacts, most likely as a result of me using that 11.1 lipo, causing a bit of arcing. The trigger prongs were slightly tight as well, so all of this leads me to believe lurkingknight hit it right on the head with the overspin diagnosis.

Loosened the trigger contacts a bit and cleaned them off as well. I don't have a battery to test it out at the moment as Hobby King seems to have lost my package by sending it via Malaysia POS... so I'll have to wait til I get another set of batteries in before I test it out again.

Definitely was a good learning experience, thanks for the help lurkingknight!
