Grips Needles
Why is this Tattoo Machine not working? Why doesn't needle move?
So, I bought a tattoo machine online, I just got it, pieced it together and everything but it's still not working! The Power Supply works, I loaded the needle, grip, and plastic tube. The front spring was originally not touching the Contact Screw so I did take out the front Binding Post and reversed it so that it touched the contact screw (now it is directly above the front spring) but it still does not work for some reason! I can feel the gun getting warm when I turn it on but the needle doesn't move... am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
*Smartass responses will be ignored, I'm not planning on inking my friends or anything, I just wanted to see if I could do it.
Try bending the front spring for a better angle with the contact screw. It's supposed to be bent to around a 45 degree angle. They don't come pre-bent. If that's not it, I'm not sure what it could be.
