Put back in the old motor. Full functionality. Reverse polarity, nothing happens.
Are you saying that the gearbox cycles while it is not inside the gun but has the old motor attached, or is it just the motor itself that is functioning?
When I have the old motor in or out of the gearbox, it functions (cycles the gearbox when inside, spins when outside). If I reverse the polarity while inside the gearbox, it does what the new motor does - nothing.
With the new motor, it functions outside of the gearbox (spins), but not inside the gearbox (it doesn't cycle the gun, no matter which way I have the wiring).
Today I'm going to try switching the pinion gears on the motors to see if that will make the new motor work in the gun.
This is my signature. Hear it roar.
