Broken Etek 3 LT ~ Help!

youngmonee · 12-13-2012, 08:18 PM

Hey guys! So I just bought an Etek 3 LT over Pbnation and got it a few days ago. I took it out and turned it on and then put in my tank and when I put a ball in, the gun wasn't shooting. I tried different modes and adjusted the bolt guide but before I end up taking it apart, are there any common issues that could be the issue in this case? LMK thanks!

Fresh battery? Any mods? Did you turn on the on/off(I know stupid question but I work tech support :\) Any leaks? Did you try with the eyes off? Do the lights on the back of the grip change color when you pull the trigger? What do you mean by adjust the bolt guide? Blot pin or ramer cap?

batter seems fine ill try that tomorrow morning, no mods, on off is fine as far as I know i turned the eyes off and shot, the bolt guide slips under the neck when i shake it so I'm working on that but the color did not change when i shot. i am not sure what to do from here.

Do you have the bolt pin secure in the rammer? It shouldn't move unless the ram moves. Also when my eyes are on and there is nothing in the feed tube, if I pull the trigger nothing happens (noid or light wise). However if I turn the eyes off by holding the power button down for a second or two, when I pull the trigger the light will flash and I hear the noid's faint click.

Is the bolt moving? I know you said it's just the solenoid click you're hearing?

^^^ exactly what i was thinking lol

Could be a number of things,
1. The Microswitch isn't receiving the trigger signals
2. The gun could have it's eyes on
3. The asa could not be turned on all the way
That is all the symptoms of it not firing, or making any other sound.
If the gun makes a sound upon firing but no ball shoot out or there is a faint click.
1. The asa is not on.
2. The bolt is not connected to the rammer.
