Quick Fix #3 - ARL Spring Failure


Symptoms: Gears are spinning backwards after the AEG is fired. 

Diagnosis: A close look at the anti-reversal latch showed that it was intact and meshed properly with the bevel gear. However after examining the spring which moves the latch I discovered it could no longer create enough tension for the latch to engage normally.



Replacing the ARL spring got this AEG up and running again right away. Hopefully this saves someone else time on diagnosis!
