Pollynator_bravo2 Posted October 1, 2022 Author Posted October 1, 2022 No it’s some glue but I’m wondering if that is putting pressure somewhere. I’ll investigate tomorrow for sure

I noticed when it was apart some odd west marks on the underside on the nozzle. Could this be misalignment? Just looking for ideas so I can eliminate possible causes. I’ve got some slow mo video but it’s blurry and I need to trim it Slow mo video. Sorry about the quality IMG_8837.MOV Can't view the video for some reason, but if the nozzle doesn't get all the way to the left there then it's not actually mating up with the hop rubber so a good chunk of your air is going down the feed tube. I'd take the hop unit out and see if the nozzle stops in the same place or goes out further. That will isolate the cause to inside the gearbox (eg tappet plate not returning properly) or outside the gearbox (eg hop misaligned and jamming the nozzle). Pollynator_bravo2 1
Pollynator_bravo2 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Posted October 3, 2022 Thank you. I’ve not had chance to take it apart again but I hope to before the weekend Lozart 1
Pollynator_bravo2 Posted October 13, 2022 Author Posted October 13, 2022 So of the the things. The gear box was to tight which I think basically means is that the tappet plate needs sanding a bit. As soon as I took the tension off the nozzle came forward. Thanks to everyone who gave advice. Always much appreciated Lozart 1
Pollynator_bravo2 Posted November 14, 2022 Author Posted November 14, 2022 Nailed this in the end. for anyone that lands in the same situation or is interested lol it all panned out like this: - found the nozzle was making contact with the upper and lower surfaces of the hop. - checked the cylinder, piston and al related compression components all ok ? - found that when the upper receiver was attached the connection was stiff - then found the pin just above the trigger hadn’t been replaced by the original tech allowing the tv to tilt so slightly. - replaced pin and normality resumed ?

I’ve got an MP5 that’s being problematic so that’s next. For that one I can blame myself or anyone as it’s had no work done to it ?
