Got lowers with xmod. Seemed to work great without valve and safety on. I put the valve on and aired up. Worked intermittently. Seemed to get a lot of bolt stick. After taking valve on and off bolt still stuck but was working and than suddenly quit. I tried recharging the battery for a little bit thinking maybe it had died, but still doesnt seem to be working again. Any ideas?

check your detents for bolt stick. (take them out while tuning)
make sure you have the correct length on/off pin (.712")
Get the valve to work in mech mode, and then we can worry about the e part. -
Well,.. I am a bit worried that the solenoid on the $380 set of lowers isn't actuating.
I can get it to fire in mech mode, but even without the detents, it is sticking like crazy. One shot and it sticks. occassionally I can sweet spot it and it will fire off two shot due to reactivity. I don't have any extra carriers unfortunately. The valve was working well in a micro mag body that I had. Actually, I just popped the valve back out, stuck it in the Micro body and it starts going great.
Figured out whats wrong with the Emode. One of the wires has come loose.
Anyone out there fix these things? I have a small soldering iron, but not sure if I trust myself to fix it without frying something.

Does the loose wire crimp into one of the white plastic connectors? If so, you probably don't want to try to solder it.Comment

No, it's the one that wires into the component on the top of the board... I can see the solder blob that it came loose from.Comment

It's very easy bro. Hold the wire at the solder blob and hit it with the iron. The sec you see it liquefy pull the iron off and keep the wire in place. It will re-solidify and your wire should be good.
Edit:
I can do it for ya if you don't feel up to it. Just pay for the shipping and we'll call it good.Comment

If you apply too much heat, you are gonna cook that mosfet. Send it here and I'll fix it right.

Fixed the solder joint on the board, so the board is working again. Tried it in Emech mode and it would actually rip a string out... Still some bolt stick, but I seemed to be able to get it to unstick by pulling the trigger back all the way. On strictly E-mode, it still got bolt stick. Even tried putting an SS E-mag body that I had sitting around on it and it seems to stick less, but still sticks.Comment

You can almost be sure that the pin size is wrong if the valve worked in a micromag and not too good in an emag.Comment

I didn't see it posted anywhere, are you using a quad o-ring with your on/off?Comment
-
Thats the black one with the ridges right? I looked at the AGD webstore and the one in the picture looks like the one I have in my on/off.Comment
-
Yep that is the one.
1- What kind of velocity are you getting on the first shot?
2- Have you checked the voltage on the battery when it is fully charged?
3- Like Tuna said check your on/off pin length ! As stated before it should be .712"
4- How tight is the bolt when you try to move it on the powertube? It shouldn't be loose, but you should be able to move it without much effort. In other words it should only have a minimal amount of friction from the carrier o-ring. It mostly sounds like the carrier o-ring is to tight to me, but I am not an expert by any means.Comment

Hey Opbn
Tuna is just saying that cause you more then likely went from a mech setup to a E setup and your pin is 100% likely the wrong size which will cause other issues with your marker. You'll need a E-mag size pin which is .712
You could also try messing with your field strip screw.
If it's not working properly finger tight, go a 1/4 of a turn with a allen key and try shooting it again, then again at 1/2 a turn. Just keep going till it either starts working right, gets worse or you cant turn it anymore. I have 3 markers needing this done to them to stop bolt stick and 2 others to position the on/off correctly for the marker to cycle. Reason being, most if not all my markers have some sport of aftermarket part. Well that's just what I tell myself anyways
Could be I don't know what I"m doing but they're all working so I blame the parts.
Edit: Last thing. My last e-mag purchase came to me all dorked up. I had to shorten the trigger rod pass the "specified length" to get it cycling right. I would try this last if nothing else is working for ya. Even the X-Mod software instructions call for you to shorten your rod if it's not cycling right.Last edited by Ando; 11-27-2009, 08:47 AM.Comment
