Hello everybody, I have a Taigen KV-1 airsoft with 2 wires cut and the main gun doesn't fire or sound. Anybody any idea where these 2 wires connect and if that will be the problem with the gun. The rest of the tank works fine. It would be good to see pictures of a similar tank inside to see how it should be wired . Thanks

Also plug everything back in check the micro switch that is connected to the gun. You can use a small scewcriver to test it. I'm pretty sure those two wires are from a charging port that was disconnected and unrelated to the gun fire issue.

It looks like the wires are for the charging port as Carl said, the above pic is off a new taigen lower I took apart a few weeks back. The red wire you have there is actually a negative on my kv for recoil power, if yours is bb I don't think you would need the red wire. As for your black wire it looks like that one goes to the charging port but your not using that so don't need both. No idea why your gun isn't firing unless the red does need to be connected to the negative on your power switch.

I will give it a go Thanks Carl

Hey Carl , I think you are correct. I taped they cut wires out the way ,yes probably from a charge plug , I did what you said and turned it on and with a screwdriver I touched the microswitch together and bang it fired and recoiled with sound. So do I need a new micro switch Cheers Duncan , oh and thanks for the video on soldering the xt60 plugs , I have now just put 1 on my tiger and Lipo is charging ,just as well the plugs come in bags of 5 because I melted the first 3 . And thanks for the input Jake79 ,I wwould still like to know where the 2 wires are ment to be and now that I know the problem I want to convert to IR

Ive got a spare kv toision bar if your still looking..
