Thats what it sounds like. If you watch the end of the trigger rod right behind the trigger when it is making that sound you would see the end of the rod rapidly moving in and out. But remember there can be other causes of that.

Well I've since removed the trigger rod (by unclipping it at the sear) so I can't see the rod bouncing quickly. Although with the trigger rod in it would "Run Away" in hybrid and never really had a problem in E. By the way I don't trust myself with a soldering iron and a expensive Emag board so I'll let a techy do this for me if it indeed is the fix to the problem.

Darn Cphil, I didn't know you liked port! I love the stuff. Tawnys the best in my book - but I'll drink it all, even if it comes from somewhere like Austrialia

Only in the winter Calvin. Out of a Waterford Crystal Sherry glass. Not sure the pattern but an older cut one. I think its the lead that gives it the extra stupor. I currently sippin on a Sandeman Tawny myself though! Sweet and warm.

TOM, I LOVE YOU MAN!!!! IT WORKED!!!!

Now tourny legal and ready to tear on some fools! Pix coming soon on how I did it, very simply to say the least, with no soldering required!

Stay tuned.

Well, I just got my scuba fill and tried my xmag aired up to see if I could get mine to go full auto. The answer - yes. It mainly did it when the tank output was set to 1k. It still did it when set to 800 psi but was not as consistant. Mine's does not go full-auto when the trigger is fully pulled. Rather it goes full-auto at a certain point like a sweetspot on a mech retro. If anyone else has version 2.4, you might want to check yours too. I will switch out the solinoid leads as soon as I can get my brothers soldering iron. One question though, if I do the soldering myself, will I be voiding my warranty?

3.2 Runaway Solderless Fix Tutorial

It's not much guys, but it works!!! Check it out, takes about 10 minutes to complete.

I had originally stripped the whole gun down and taken the solly out to do a solder job, and when I got fed up trying to get into the solenoid I said screw and decided to just cross the wires, but it worked!!!

Thanks Tom, you da bomb!

Nice post Frag! For you scared to soldier guys.

One tip maybe I can see should be added. This is to make sure you mark ONE of your two wires so you can distinguish which is which and you join the opposite ones. Any method would do but do it before you un-soldier or cut them. Like take a marker and mark one with some color on both ends (or even along the entire length of that one). And then make sure the marked wires are not matched up when you rejoin them. that way they are switched for sure. Something along that lines will keep you straight.

Thx cphil!

Yes, very good point, I couldn't figure out how to word it correctly on the page

I originally had everything stripped out, and had the solly in my hand buy i was too retarded to figure out how to get inside of it to resolder the wires, so i said screw it and did it this way instead

Saves a LOT of time this way, as all u hafta do is take off the left grip, w00t!

You fixed what on my gun?

I didn't think there were any problems...j/k Tom.

Actually, down at Cup when Clare and I were chronoing our guns in, I did have a couple instances when the gun ran away. Colin actually fixed the problem, maybe only temporarily, by changing the shots per second down and the run-away never came back.

So..who you playin with next year?

[cphilip]

That will supress it in some markers. But not completely eliminate it.

lol... I'm still not gonna touch my emags internals til I'm trained to. I finally got the testicals to try and install KayleAGD's on/off switch today but I broke the connector like a dumb arse. Me and electronics don't get along to well when it comes to fixing and repairing.

Well...looks like I'll be in Vegas after all..but just as a spectator..

Fragtek:

"solderless fix" with butt splices? that is SO ghetto. desoldering and resoldering the solenoid leads at the mosfet and positive power lead is EASY, if you've got some experience and a NICE soldering iron with interchangable tips.

Just pickin' on ya. However, seriously, I don't approve of ANYONE attempting to modify their wiring if they don't have electronics experience. The solder joints for the solenoid can be temperamental, and if the would-be DIYer was to place any stress on the connection at the mosfet leg, later on during a string of trigger pulls, the wire could actually pop off, and damage other components on the board. I've seen this happen on THREE seperate occasions to different boards.

BE CAREFUL, EVERYONE!!! --Dave
