X-mag wont fire in electronic mode

[ginetta]

Hi everyone, I purchased an x-mag recently and I am having some trouble getting it up and running. To summarize:

• Gun is lubed and fires fine in mechanical mode
• Battery is new and is charged
• Gun has readout for ace and trigger activation, trigger light blinks when I pull trigger and ace light blinks when i put something in the breech
• Gun wont fire regardless if ace is on or off in settings

As this is my first electronic mag i'd appreciate some suggestions on things I can try or check as i'd love to get this baby running!

So looks like my solenoid is sticking, when I tip the gun it barely moves - bummer

Is it safe to assume that the mechanical safety is off. I think it would stop the sear from moving in any mode.

Ha, yes safe to assume that. Safety is not on. I think it might be a bent plunger rod as the plunger seems to be binding somewhere

Yeah, I recently picked up my 1st emag and that was one of the things that many people stressed, take the sear rod out before you remove the rail. If it is a bent plunger, I think they can be fixed but I am not certain.

It ended up being the plunger. Took everything apart and the rod looked crooked. Tried to bend it by hand to the best of my ability and voila it works. Also RT's much better as well.
