Tuning FX impact MKll not cocking

[Ninjababy]

Somehow it is NOT cocking at all. I didn’t touch the trigger until it wasn’t cocking. Saw all trigger videos on YouTube and tried but no use yet. 


the upper tear/sear is NOT latching/grabbing the pack-man tip. 


initially, I was able to pull the cocking liver backward and with left hand, push the trigger forward and it would load/cock but not anymore. 


need advise please. Running out of blood pressure pills really fast. Thanks

make sure there isn't anything in the mechanism and in the hammer spring, possible the hammer adjuster has moved to far, try backing it out,

If you pull that side plate with the 2 screws off you should be able to see what's going on in there.

Both of these are great advice on where to start. Could be 1st or 2nd stage trigger adjustments screws have moved that alter sear engagement. Could also be hammer spring adjustment that is to close to "max" and not allow the sear to engauge when cocking.

Problem solved!!! Thank you very much guys

in the picture below you can see the pin of the loading block. “It was bent” and that was causing the sear not to engage with the Pac-Man.



well I learned a lot this time and came to know how the trigger works too. 


Thanks again guys

Many times this problem is caused by pulling the cocking handle all the way back and inadvertently pulling the trigger, which causes the hammer to fly forwards and smack into the cocking pin located on the bottom of the cocking block, which in turn bends the cocking pin forwards. What happens then is that even though you pull the cocking handle all the way back, the cocking pin that's bent so far forwards cannot not pull the hammer back far enough for it to catch on the trigger sear.

Best regards, Chuck

That’s absolutely what happened in my case. 

Now the pin has a hex nut and I tightened the hex nut and the pin position changed and looked like normal pin. My concern is that it hex nut/pin can come loose and I will have same issue again. 


can I buy a new pin? Thanks

No you have to buy a whole new cocking block from FX USA. Try putting a drop of Loctite on the threads and then tightening the hex screw tight and let it sit over night. Then try it in the morning and if it works you should be good to go.

Oh very good advice. Thank you very much once again.

Only one needed and placed properly should be on the drivers side of the gun(left). I questioned that awhile back, tried installing a second ball on my own, and was advised not to as it puts too much stress on the rear cocking arm hinge pin that’s on the rear block, so I removed it.

I really didn't knew this Bigragu.

I will check mine as well if is working better with one.
