CYMA P90 not feeding/firing

RX93 · July 29th, 2016, 22:03

I recently bought a CYMA P90, which was working out of the box. After I changed the spring for a Modify S90 to lower the FPS, the gun will either not fire, or fire 1 bb every 10 or so shots that goes about 20 feet then drops. The gearbox works when out of the gun (I can feel it pushing out air) so I don't think it's a compression issue.

My guess is that it's something to do with the hop up unit/inner barrel, but I don't have any spare parts to check that.

UPDATE: I got it working. The issue was that the air nozzle was not seated on the groove on the tappet plate, so a proper seal between the hop up and the gearbox was not created when the trigger was fired (it was seated before when I incorrectly put the gearbox together)

Any help would be great

Hop up unit on p90 breaks easily... Check for any breakage.

Make sure you push it in all the way. Screws/ shim/plate in the butt stock in place?

The hop up unit that comes stock looks like really cheap plastic, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was what broke. The plate in the butt stock is in place, I made sure the screws were actually screwing in.

did you reinstall the tappet plate spring?
