I recently installed an e trigger in my 98 custom.It shoots fine on semi,but under high rates of fire it remains cocked but won`t fire.You can hear the solanoid clicking,but thats it.i`m using co2 with a remote,exp chamber,and have tried 2 new batteries.I installed it with the original sear spring that came with the marker and the heavier spring that came with the r/t I originally had on it.It only seems to do this after the tank gets cold.Anone else have this issue?

You do have a hopper to feed your paintballs fast enough right? Because when you say it remains cocked, are we talking fully cocked or about 3/4 to half way cocked? Because if your hopper can't keep up, it'll either chop balls or the bolt/hammer will get stuck half way.

On another note if that's not the case, I know what can happen with Spyder's sometimes. Be sure you didn't make any bolts that tighten to gun overly tight (especially the ones near the sear/selenoid). Sometimes if something's too tight it won't allow it to drop the sear.

Ty for the response,I figured out the problem i think.Both of sear springs i used were too heavy for the push rod,so i found a lighter spring and it works perfectly.
