Does your gun jam frequently?
Chewing the whole rack is a pre-engagement issue where the sector picks up the piston when it hasnt reached its resting point. Most often due to jamming.
The last 2-3 teeth is a common weak piston failure, sometimes just due to having a shit piston, too much torque being applied to it, someone assembling the mechbox wrong and the piston is jammed in position, or the piston is too big for that mechbox.

When you assemble the mechbox, insert and allen key or thin screwdriver through the air nozzle and push the piston back. It should move freely, aside from the spring tension.
If it POPS or is jammed, its because its not sitting in the rails.
