Reo Not Firing

[greystreet]

Hello, I purchased a Reo from a classifieds sale and got it to fire twice. Then nothing. I mistakenly used a Lithium Ion battery at first, but after buying the batteries suggested on Reo's website there's still no fire.

Any guidance?

Try a scrape on the tip of the firing pin where it contacts the positive nipple of the battery. Sometimes they get gunked up and don't make a good contact. One more thing. Is the battery sitting secure on the spring? Does it rattle around?

Also, depending on what you're screwing onto it, try pulling its positive connection, maybe it's not touching the mod?

What he means by scrape is take the battery out then push down on the the firing button so that the pin is poking out inside then take a nail file and give it a couple of good scuffs then you'll need to apply some noalox to the tip you just scuffed if you don't have any it can be purchased at places like Home Depot in the electrical section

Also, if it has the button cover on it, check to make sure it isn't pushed on too far, blocking you from making contact with the battery when pressed.

Curious if the spring has collapsed ?
As long as its not a Vv I would give it a hot bath clean firing pin as others have suggested.
Make sure firing button has spun itself to the off position (check first)

I would suggest giving your Reo a bath. Then gently sand the firing pin. Apply Noalox to the firing pin, hot spring where it contacts the batt, and both ends of the batt. Then I would check the firing voltage with this

then check your atty with this

Both are available at RTD Vapor. A multi-meter will work also.

I hope this helps!

That's what I figured. If he makes that bad boy fire like it did the couple times it worked, there's some serious magic going on there. Hogwarts level.

Rob is a Class Act. I dont know of another vendor that would offer you this service on a device bought off the classys..

 

[greystreet]

I don't either. I'm sort of blown away by it.

Well said doots! Absolutely right! Rob is fantastic and so are Reos.

Curious if you got it working ? Or is it going on a road trip ?

Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to being a part of this. I'm actually doubling down. Rob's gesture to help me got me off the fence about getting a Mini 2.1.

That's it. Way to go. Nothin like the feeling of receiving a brand new REO. Congrats!

Sounds like your on your way to bliss. Rob is an exceptional person to deal with as well as his exceptional products. These mods are almost indestructible but do need some tlc on occasion. Congrats
