trigger skipping in semi auto mode

[batosai,themanslayer]

:secrets: My '98 Dark LE has been acting up in the last day or two.When I pull the trigger in semi mode about 1 out of 10 shots doesn't register with the gun.the led light doesn't flash red on that shot and the marker doesn't fire with air in it on those 1 outta 10 shot.any ideas?Im playing in a tourny this weekend so the timing is terrible. :wall:

Is the trigger adjusted down really tight? If so try loosening it up a tad, the trigger adjustments might be down so small that the trigger doesnt fully reset inbetween shots. Also check the connectors inside the gun, make sure they are tight, the wires are not clipped or anything. If a connecter seems to wiggle or be loose, take the two outside prongs and bend them slightly away from each other ( | | to \ / ) so there is friction holding the connector on there.

sounds like the microswitch might be wearing out....

Im going to go with emmit on this one, sounds like the micro switch might need to be looked at.

Initially I thought it was the screw as well,but I think you guys are right,I think its the switch.My tech friend is looking at it and he's gonna let me know.How much are new switches and whats the process to switch the switches {ha ha}.for real tho.what does it take.thanks for the info so far guys

Takes almost nothing to switch them, you need to install a capacitor over the terminals on the switch and then re solder the wires from the old one onto the new one. Im not sure if you can just buy the switch, I know I just bought a new wiring loom for mine and it came with everything, so im not sure.

it turned out it wasn't the switch.He just reset the trigger and my "welter" shot great.We came in second place by the way and beat a team that won skyball rookie a year or two ago.Thanks for the help again guys
