    Emag solenoid cycle problems

    I have an emag with v1.37
    ULE body, x valxe, & LX

    I'll be playing in Emode and at fast strings my gun will miscycle, I've oiled the carrier and tried to get it to fire consistently, works well at, even, lower rates of fire, or short bursts.
    So, I was tuning the gun and dry firing it quickly and noticing that the bolt was giving the old "chuff chuff" every now and then, for no reason! -Im using the red spring, 2 shims and the carrier is broken in and works fine -no leaks, slides smoothly-"
    I figure that the gun must be short stroking? I took off the panel to watch the solenoid cycle and to my horror! it was. It would cycle and then it would stick in the pulled position and stay there and kind of bounce a little for a couple of shots, or more. This only happens at high rates of fire, and even in mult shot "burst mode", and it seems to happen more if I tilt the gun to the right and less if the gun is tilted to the left. -strange.

    So, maybe the new software can fix this?

    Anyone have any solutions, anyone ever see this before?

    all is well...

    It seems that I may have fixed the problem.

    I was going through my emag and I took the plunger out of the solenoid checked it for a bend, and cleaned it, also cleaned out the solenoid and put it back together, but that wasnt the fix...the solenoid was still "sticking" from time to time when fired. I did noting that the solenoid was loose, the screw that held the solenoid assembly in place was tight but there was still some play in the solenoid, is this normal? I found that if I tilted the gun, or pressed the solenoid in a certain spot the plunger would stick! so I put some electrical tape in between the solenoid mount, it is a nice firm seat and the "sticking" of the plunger has been stopped.
