VFC MK18 not feeding

[_Whiskey_]

OK so my tappet plate broke bought a Prometheus tappet and installed that. gun is firing however it is not feeding. I've heard after replacing tappets that sometime feed problems can happen, and sanding or filing down the nozzle will fix the problem. Is this true? Any input or advice is welcomed.

It all depends on the sector gear cam profile relative to the tappet plate length.
You should be able to visually verify that the nozzle is being fully retracted when the sector cam lobe is at its most rearward position.

well the first round in a mag seats and fires fine, but after that first shot nothing feeds because the nozzle seems to be abit too far forwards after that first shot

That sounds exactly like the problem that my previous post should address.
You'll need to open up your gun to verify.

So I may have to upgrade my selector gear in order to reslove the issue if thats the case. Sorry i only have a basic know how of internals and parts.

But thanks for the advice sir

A shorter tappet plate would be easier and cheaper. I've never had a problem with SHS.

Thats what I'm hoping to do, Would be easier to just remove the old one and slot in a new one

Yes just drop in a shs or modify tappet. Avoid lonex tappets.
