    Planet Eclipse Gmek-Gamma Core firing issue Fix

    I just wanted to post this incase someone ever has the same issues as I did.

    My original Gtek when converted to Gmek was having issues either shooting full auto or wouldn’t fire at all. The valve would just off gas the air and wouldn’t make it to the bolt. The problem was in the “switch” my old manual shows #15 o rings
    the manual online shows #16 o rings. Changed them to #16 It works great now, also deadlywinds makes a hair valve for the original Gmek and its butter.

      I've been running two Emeks for years and the only issue I've ever had was the top o-ring on the bolt guide disappearing (shot out?). Then again, it might have happened twice at most. These things are super solid and very well built.

      "Nope."

          I had that switch issue on my 170R a while back. Took forever to notice the typo for 015 and 016 orings.
          Do hard things for fun. Being soft is for sissies. Being an asshole is easy, thats why everyone is one. Being stand up us hard. Be a hard bastard but be respectful.

              I think it was in a jack wood video too, where he mentioned it. Good call out though.

                  Oh good catch. I ended up buying an entirely new switch for my gmek

                      I was having issues at Fulda with mine randomly shooting twice with each pull. This might be a fix for mine as well. Thank you for posting this!

                          My Gmek is firing on it's own when aired up. About every 5 seconds. Anyone have a clue on troubleshooting this?

                              My first guess is the o-rings in your 3 way.
