Worked on my own mechbox many times. But am somewhat puzzled by this one.

Its an ICS mp5a5. It recently stopped shooting. By shooting, I mean the motor turning the gears over to power the spring. This was after it was left unused for a good 6-7 months. So I stripped her down to see that there was some wear to my gears. A few small shavings etc. All the gears looked fine enough to be running (although I would like to get around to replacing them). The cylinder set seemed fine, along with all my connections. I run an EG 1000 motor. After inspecting the gearbox I ran the motor, it works fine. Each unit seems to function well on its own, but when used together.. the gun does not work. I was thinking it has to be an alignment problem. The plate on the pistol grip has 2 screws that hold the motor and heat sync plate in place. One of the screws fell out so I had to replace it with a non airsoft related screw last season. Was working fine, but it could be the cause of the misalignment too. I have hit a wall, dont know what to do. I supposed I could try to jump start the gun with a 12v battery. Any suggestions are appreciated. I can supply pictures and/or more information if needed.
