Need help with FX magazine

[puertorico]

I hope this is posted in the right section I have an fx Dream Lite that had a magazine problem I took out the magazine because it was not indexing the next pellet and took it apart and now I have a bunch of parts and I do not know how to put it back together does anyone know where I can find the schematic

First rule of taking things apart is pay attention to how it came apart haha. Ok that aside is it a sideshot style? Or traditional style.

Either way its a spring that hooks into the lower case, then it hooks into the top case little hole. You lift the rotating part just high enough to clear the notch while spinning it the proper way to get spring tension. The sideshot has an additional step of having a small ball bearing and spring that goes into a detent. Dont feel bad i once took my sideshot apart in the woods and the spring went flying and gone haha.

It is a sideshot....problem is a o ring fell out as well. The main spring and an o ring as well as two ball bearings and two springs

Oring goes under the nut which the screw goes to. Main spring has a longer bent piece kind of a 90 degree coming off the end that goes into the cog wheel there's a tiny hole which it fits in, then the shorter 90 bend goes in the bottom piece or outer housing, there's a few small holes for it! I put it together then wound it till the tension felt right I think twice around and you half to lift the cog just enough to clear the stop, there's 2 holes under the piece that spins to hold the cover on 2 springs go in those holes and the 2 balls go in on top of the springs, then it gets screwed back together! Hope I explained it ok!!!

Might be a good time for someone to do an assembly video?

Ernest has a 'Tuning Magazine' video that would probably help a lot. Go to YouTube and search Ernest Rowe, it should be in there.

Hoytwon..thx... I'll give it a shot. The problem with Ernest video is that the magazine that he shows is not the same kind

 

[Glem.Chally]

I have put an extra turn on the spring on both my side shots. They don't want to advance the pellets because of to light a spring tension.
