JG G36C Firing Problem

Haven't used this in over a year but decided to use it today. When I pull the trigger back it does nothing unless I pull it back very hard. Even then it only works every 3 or 4 pulls. I don't think it's the battery either because that's fully charged. Any advice would be appreciated.

you could have carbonised contacts or they could be spread out too much. either way it would be no harm to open the gearbox and have a look.

As thermo said definitely check the contacts and replace them with gold plated ones or a MOSFET if you can. Could also be a bad battery if it's been left for a year with charge in it but not being used.
