M14 wiring problem

[mauser98k]

My AGM m14 kinda got jacked with a while back, but now I want to get it running again for an m1 Garand conversion. Only issue is, the two RED wires that connect to the motor are now disconnected. I am going to solder them back, but I do not know where to attach them at. Can anybody here be so kind as to take apart their m14 and show me a picture of their wired up motor so I can use it as reference?

Thanks guys! ;D

I'll get one taken apart and get you a picture posted. The wires should have a simple slide on clip that you can use without soldering. Once in place I now run some cloth tape over the motor to the wires are held in place effectively and not likely to cause the connections to disengage during reassembly. The Maruis have a nice channel to hold them in place but the AGM, Cymas etc do not.

Soldering is an ideal connection which can yield a extra BB per second in high speed guns however ease of gearbox disassembly can be hindered depending on the gun.

Dakota,

Here are some pictures of M-14 Clone gearboxes showing the wiring. These wires are a somewhat thicker gauge then the wires in your AGM but the scheme is identical



The black connection attaches on the clip at the bottom and the red slips on with the clip on top of the motor.



Here is another angle, note the wires circle around to the front.

I hope that is what you were looking for. Soldering is always a good idea over and above using the clips although as noted it complicates dissasembly should you decide to do so. Complete replacement gear boxes run around $40.00 so repairs are very affordable on these guns.

Let us know how your repairs efforts go. I usually put a thin strip of electrical tape around the wires securing them to the motor so they don't snag and pull off when slipping the gear box/ rifle assembly back into the stock. Sometimes it's hard to get the wiring to track back into the stock so I use the unjamming rod and thread it through to the entry point for the wiring and attach the wire clip over the tip of the rod and carefully pull the wires through unclipping the tamiya clip once it's threaded through.
