FX impact power wheel binding/stuck

[coonslayer]

took it out to the range. shoots well. turned the power wheel down to 3 and it sounded kinda gritty. tried to turn it back up and it wont move. although it did let me turn it down below "min" to the number "two" setting.

Hello sir,

Could you please try to turn the power wheel up while the gun isnt cocked, the power wheel isnt designed to be able to move when the gun is cocked

best regards Johan

It sounds like you tried to adjust the power wheel when the gun was cocked. Was this the case? If so, I think you can adjust it back, so long as it is no longer cocked.

The reason you can not adjust it to a higher setting while it is cocked is because you are trying to rotate that wheel against the spring tension (actually, it is a bit more complicated than that. But, I don't want to type all of that ). It is possible to adjust down while cocked because you are lowering the spring tension. But, this still is not ideal. Better to always make adjustments with no tension on the spring (ie. uncocked).

I'm glad I asked, that must have been the problem. It turns easy as pie now. I didn't even realize it was cocked. Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'll be posting my groupings pic's shortly.
