Guys,

Just wondering if anyone can help over the break...

I've got a Cuda where nothing I do to adjust the reed switch on the inside will enable it to stay on at 100% trigger pull (switches off at end of pull and I can't push reed switch in further). It's also stuttering on the odd start up, and occasionally failing to start. I pause and then restarts ok usually.

I', wondering if I need a new trigger rod/magnet, reed switch of both?

I've hacked this with some duct tape to stop 100% trigger pull, but really want to fix it properly. I might have some other issues with my Cuda tripping out on hard turns under power, though think it wise to get the trigger sorted first for diagnosis. I suspect it might be as simple as a weak magnet or reed switch dis-engaging with the change in trigger grip on odd angles. Anyway, simple stuff first...

Thanks, Damien
 
Best bet is to call Dive-X ... they are nice and friendly and know their units extremely well.

Having said that, it does sound like you may need a new rod, as the magnet does wear out over time, else it is a slight misalignment of the reed switch.

Thanks for the insight, I was largely after confirmation that the magnets lose their juice over time. Will call factory, it's just hard from Oz and over holidays I don't imagine anyone's around.

Have a good new years, Damien
