I have TM 5.1 and lately my gun stopped firing. When I pull the trigger, the hammer seems to hit the valve knocker but doesn't seem to contact the magazine valve? I can't seem to figure out the problem. I checked the valve knocker and valves and it seems to be working.
I tried multiple magazines, switching hammer springs with no luck.
The valves are upgraded to guarder hi-flow ones.
If someone can help me, much appreciated. Thanks.

This is a fairly common problem when upgrading valves and/or knockers.
The most likely cause is the strike surface of the valve being higher than the knocker is able to accept. Either they are loose and need to be screwed in (as apiler indicated), or the knocker arm should be shortened to accommodate the fuller length valve.

So this thread has decided my next two airsoft purchases after the Outer Barrel, a NOVA Brass Hop Up and a Tanio Koba Twist Rifled Barrel in the next few months for my KJW 1911.

IK has a new product now: Full Hop up set, which includes a hardened stainless steel adjustment arm, retention o-ring, and a more durable brass adjustment dial.
All of these parts make a complete unit, which the Nova unit does not, at a similar price point. The IK hop up chamber is also made of brass, which, when combined with one of the new IK fixed outer barrels with a round indicator notch (several real steel pistols use this feature), makes it look like you have loaded brass in your chamber!
Contact for pricing, or wait a few days... I'm currently working on new price list to be put up in the retailer forum. It will be a rough shell for now, simply to list products and pricing. As I get time, I'll add photos and descriptions.
