EATDIRTFARTDUST has a spectacular aura aboutEATDIRTFARTDUST has a spectacular aura about
E-Grip Sticking.

Before I start, I'll tell you I HAVE searched the forums and have not found an answer yet...

When I'm shooting my A-5 it will start blasting full auto, here are the circumstances:

It only acts up in 3-shot burst, full auto, or turbo mode.

If I grab the cocker, I can still hear the solenoid clicking.

Even in 3-shot burst it will still stay stuck until some combination of pulling back the cocker and playing with the trigger make it stop.

It does not seem to be shooting faster than the rate of fire that I have set it at.

I have the W.A.S. board, so it is fine for the first three shots, but then after the third trigger pull when it goes into ramping mode, it sticks almost every time.

It is fairly new, I have shot maybe 2000 balls with it, and when I purchased it it was "installed on gun, but not fired." So the description stated.

Brand new battery.

I have modded my tippman double trigger with magnets and a q-tip shaft spacer (aka the coffee stirrer mod), but it does it the same with an un-modded single trigger.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

THE JOSH.

Re: E-Grip Sticking.

It sounds like the your board is set to ramp. Try changing the settings. Take your trigger and go over it. Take the add on's off. make sure all the pins are there. make sure there isn't any burrs anywhere on mating surfaces. Check you bebounce it may be too sensitive and is causing it to keep firing.

Re: E-Grip Sticking.

You may have to take those metal clips off of the trigger it self.

Re: E-Grip Sticking.

Hey everyone... I'm new on this board, but I've been through this so I thought I'd wade in.

Have a look at Wicked Air Sports tech support forum.
http://www.wickedairsportz.com/cgi-b.../ikonboard.cgi

It's full of questions about the WAS egrip not functioning as it should. In my case it would go into full auto and not stop! In most cases the tech support advises to bend the trigger micro-switch lever slightly up. This puts a little more pressure on the switch and prevents it from bouncing under recoil. Another common condition is that the switch lever is slightly too long and the left side of the grip interferes with it.
Hope this helps...

One of my teammates had this issue. Call Tippmann and RMA it.

We sent Tippmann a box of 8 e-grips to be replaced!

Re: E-Grip Sticking.

Might be as simple as your debounce setting. Try setting it to max and see if you get the same result. Also the WAS will tell you low battery (Flashing Red) so if you have a green light, you should be OK with the power issue.
