Taigen tiger......ggrrhhhhh

Post by jeman »

Hi all......yet another problem with this one, the turret now sticks on full lock and clicks away....this on top of the idler issue....! Ok the idler issue I think might have been caused by the previous owner, but now it seems like the board has packed up. Any ideas ?
Cheers

If its clicking then the turret has jammed. Check inside and out side for any obstruction.

Are you sure it's a 360 Turret?

Also try removing the turret rotation motor as the plastic cogs inside may have damaged.

You will have to open it up to check but you should see clearly if they are damaged.

Also check the turret rotation ring to see if you have some broken teeth as this can also cause problems.

Hi guys.....tried that but still does the same thing......if I operate the turret rotation, it just go round to the rotation limiter and sits there clicking away.....if I operate the barrel up or down....it sits there clicking away....if I try to turn the turret the opposite way....it just goes straight back to the rotation limiter and stays there....clicking away.....I think it's knackered.....so peed off

If the turret ring has the moulded piece on the teeth like the one pictured it will click when it reaches full lock as you call it.
