Emag won't shoot in electro mode
First of all, I am using a classic valve with level x tuned for a different body/rail/grip. But the emag valve needs a complete rebuild, guy obviously used co2 and turned all the orings into goop.
So here's what is happening. Using two fresh nine volts together in a series, (18.5 volts), the board boots up. Heck, the marker even pulls the solenoid down if you push the solenoid up, when the gun isn't aired up.
That's as far as we get for the good. Wen the gun is in electro mode, once I pull the trigger the board goes blank. And when the gun is aired up the solenoid does nothing. The hall sensor appears to work, as the board will not turn on when the trigger is pulled back. With the trigger forward, the board will blink the pixel. With the trigger pulled back, the pixel does not blink.
The trigger pull also seems to be rather heavy when the gun is in manual. Manipulating the sear when the gun is not aired up is also similarly stiff.
Can anyone please help me with this major problem?

To all future readers: resolved
Thanks to the help of these three wonderful people, my problem is resolved.
Real problem: Plunger rod was wrong length. Also slightly bent.
Solution: Used calipers, set rod to right length (3.005"), bent rod to proper alignment. Bend was less of a problem than the wrong length. 80% of the problem was the length!
Symptoms I should have noticed: It was very difficult to get the sear pin to align with the sear. Should've noticed this.
Symptoms I did notice: Whole sear was stiff, gummy like when body and frame on rail.
What it looks like now: The plunger falls up and down with gravity. As it should.
Now I'm off to get me some o-rings!
