Hi,

I hope i'm not duplicating a post, i didnt see this in a search.

I have a A-5 with an e-grip and GTA double trigger that was double firing. Too fix it i put the stock trigger into the egrip after switching the stock trigger for the double trigger.

It now no longer double fires but it will not fire full auto or 3 burst, it will fire 1 shot and then i hear it ticking away and wont fire. i used the stock trigger and the same thing.

Are there differences in sear spring tension maybe? I'm outa idea's.

Thanks a mil.

Try replacing your battery if you havnt done so. People always get this problem which is simply caused by a low battery. When the battery is low, the solenoid can not push the sar enough to trip it and fire. So first try this.

Hi,

The Battery is new, when i got the e-grip i bought a new battery with it and have not played with it only been testing.

Hi,

I got a new battery and will give it a try. i also called tippman and they are going to send me some new stuff. if the board is fried im going to plaster the dude who sold it too me. i should never get stuff 2nd hand :(

thanks for the advice though, much appreciated.

Could be many reasons;

1) Weak battery.

2) Wires crimped not allowing complete electricity flow. Or wires rubbing the armature pin not allowing it to strike the sear with enough force.

3) The armature pin is mushroomed on the ends causing it to be shorter than needed.

4) metal clip still on the back of the trigger.

Hi,

Tippmann sent me a new bolt and sear which i installed tonight and same problem. On full auto it fires once and then it does not recock the bolt and just "ticks" away after that?

So i called them up again and it looks like the armature pin ends are mushroomed. they are going to send me a new one and a new sear spring. I hope this sorts it out.

I must say though that Tippmanns after sales service is fantastic, it was so easy to get them to send me stuff, amazing!!!! i live in South Africa and here service is a dirty word, so its really refreshing to get good service.

i got the armature pin and replaced the springs and after some tweaking its finally working, i wasnt sure if i had to leave the trigger slide and spring in so i tried it both ways and it seemed to work with it on. It also worked better with 1 particular seer (they sent me 2) It all seems to be working 100% now, i will test it this weekend.

I have been reading that the JCS trigger works well and i will see about ordering that, just that shipping to SA is quite expensive. But now i'm thinking about getting a super stock cocker lol.

thanks for everyones input it helped tremendously.

You, good sir, are an idiot.

A-5's use the E-Grip ONLY, and the 98C uses the E-Bolt ONLY.

He has an A-5.

So learn your crap before you start to talk.

That's great.

He has an A-5, so why in the hell do you feel the need to preach to him about how uber leet the 98 is? He is not going to downgrade because of your moronic blather.

So until you start actually helping him instead of telling him that he made a horrible choice with buying the A-5, I suggest you shut your mouth.

STOP quoting...its sooooooooo annoying...

Anyway...As said before, try a new battery.  If that doesnt work, then start messing around with the board, and loosen the sear spring...it may be too tight for the solenoid to push.  If none of that works, then send it to tippmann and they will fix it or send you a new one for free.
