I got my nice shiny new tappet plate in and reassembled my gearbox with the stock spring ( as well as the M130 ). After some trial and error, it appears that either my battery or motor is simply not strong enough to compress the M130 spring. It still works great with the stock spring.

I'm sure everyone already knows this, but if you ever end up in the situation of having a partially compressed spring and your motor/battery not being able to turn it, it is not near as difficult as I expected to turn the gears with a small screwdriver until it fires. Which greatly simplifies trying to hold everything in place as you disassemble the gearbox. It is also a good way to jam a screwdriver into your hand and/or your gearbox.

Thanks for your help!
