@Pestobanana: I will give that a shot either later tonight or tomorrow without the piston/cylinder installed to see what happens with the sled. It HAS to be a connection issue somewhere which is why I guessed the trigger sled or cutoff lever. Something is not resetting properly and I just need to find out what it is. Never had this many issues with a gearbox before and its just frustrating to have problems after problems when doing this stuff (i took my other gearbox apart probably 3 times before it all worked right; this one I am probably over 100...).
The spring has been the same one that I put in originally (Lonex M130 w/ short stroke to achieve ~400 fps). It ran before on the current setup, but the tappet plate was too long so I ordered a new one and did some minor changes but now reverted them back other than modding and installing the new SHS tappet plate to match the lonex one (it moves correctly in the box).
I am just a little baffled as I said I had it running but then discovered (see first half of posts on this thread) that the tappet plate was the issue, then when I modded the new one and put it back together, its now having this problem with connectivity somewhere.
Thanks again and let me know if you think of anything else.
