KWA G36C dead
 

Hey guys, I got a problem and I have no idea.

Here we go, I got a brand new KWA G36 this week and after changing the connectors to deans and hooking up the battery it worked for 5 seconds then it just died. I checked the fuse and it's ok. there is a clicking noise when I have it in semi auto when I depress the trigger. No click in full auto however. Any ideas or did I get a lemon.

If you are using a mini battery, and the gun is rated at 400fps, it's likely that your battery cannot fire the gun. Try using a large battery, or a 7.4v lipo rated at 20C.

did that, I tried all my battery's and still nothing

when i first got my kwa g36 the motor height was too high/tight and it did the same thing, click and stopped. After adjusting the height it worked perfectly.

Sounds to me like you shorted something or wired something backwards or perhaps the solder joints are cold and just need to be attached correctly

just guessing

That would be next on my list of things to check.

Be careful when adjusting the motor height while the gears are engaged (spring half compressed).

How do I do that?

The large flathead screw on the base plate of your grip.

At it's highest setting (furthest into the gun) it is completely clockwise.

Back it off a little at a time (1/4 of a turn) and try to fire the gun in semi.

If you back it too far, you will hear a screeching sound, if you hear this, turn the screw clockwise until the schreeching stops.

If the gun does not fire before you hit the screeching sound... You've likely locked the gearbox (before adjusting the motor height) and you will have to trip the anti-reversal latch, or open the gearbox.

Ok thanks I will try that today. How do I trip the anti reversal latch. Can I do it without opening the gearbox.

actually with kwa there's a small hole at the base of the grip. all you need is a small allen key(sorry i don't remember off hand what size) inserted through the hole and turn ccw as mentioned above.

On the trigger guard there is a piece of plastic that moves up and down. does that serve a purpose?

Sorry, I've never worked on a KWA G36, but the information is still applicable.

I recommend taking a look at mechbox.com and seeing what info looks helpful.

Will do thanks.

buhhhhh...i've never noticed any moving piece of plastic by the trigger guard. lol.. But i imagine if it's not memorable it's probably not very important.

That would be the bolt catch on the real steel. It's only there for show on the AEG.
