PM8 Solenoid not clicking

[benHK]

Right, for some reason my solenoid isn't clicking when I pull the trigger. It was working fine, and now it's not? It would click now and again if the wire was in a certain position, so I thought it was the wiring and there being an iffy connection, but I don't think it is as the wires look fine. Tried a new battery just now and nothing... Really hoping I don't need a new solenoid, especially this close to Campaign Cup...

Can you get down to the s5's on Sunday? I can have a look for you and swap the solinoid over with my pm7 see if it is that!

Cheers Tait, figured it out though! One of the cables had broken off, but was still attached if that makes any sense. Don't suppose you know the name of the little white plug do you?

Cheers

I hate to say it chaps but that harness design is for the older markers (i.e. DM/PM 4/5) the PM8 will use a different harness.

The plug that goes into the board looks the same though? I was planning on just cutting it off and rewiring it onto the existing harness, surely that would work? If not, will I be able to pick up a new back bit at Campaign Cup?

You are more than welcome to try it, it's your marker at the end of the day fella. We will be at CC, our booth is already being set up and most of us are heading down today.

Cheers,
