ICS MP5 spring compression issue...or not?

First let me tell you what I know as I bought this gun used from ebay from someone who bought it from an estate sale so it's history is unknown.
The battery connection that comes out of the gun is larger than what comes stock on a 9.6 v battery....it has the type used in RC cars. When I received the gun I charged one of my old rc batteries to give it a try. When I pulled the trigger all I got was a "click" the kind of click that says: Hey your battery isn't strong enough to compress the spring. So I had a new 9.6 on order so I waited till it came in, charged....completely with smart charger, installed it, and "click". So I tore down the gear box, checked shimming condition etc, everything is nearly new and tried again. This time the gun went through a partial cycle but stopped before the piston was completely compressed and then "click". I can go in to the gear box in my sleep now but finally installed what I "thought" was a weaker spring.....again, a partial cycle that stops and then just click. If this gun was upgraded with a much stronger spring would it make since that I need something bigger than a 9.6 or am I missing something. What type of connection comes on larger batteries. The gun is sweet with H&K full rails Peq battery box all metal etc and I want to get it going.....I'm at my wits end. Any guru's out there tuned in would be thanked profusely for any input. Oh, one other thing, I pulled the motor and inspected the brushes, they werent making good contact and the contact on the motor was in marginal condition at best so I ordered a High Torque motor to replace it.....same thing happens, partial cycle, then click. Thanks to all.

Did you check the motor height? Does the gearset employ an anti-reversal latch? What about the wiring? Any of the insulation show signs of snagging or ripping? what about shorts? Do you smell anything when depressing the trigger, like something burning? Also make sure you're using the proper battery. Just because the voltage is right doesn't mean its the right battery. Maybe its not holding a charge?

Also try posting issues related to guns like this in the Doctors Corner section.

Thanks, I'm new here and didn't notice the Doc's Forum. I know the 9.6 is good cause it works fine in my other guns.

Yeah no worries dude. It happens.

What about my other questions?

I fixed it, mechanical things I understand, electrical hardly at all. I was using jumper wires between the gun and the battery since the plugs didn't match, well, I changed out the plug head and.....WOW, I assume wire gauge was too small. Thanks for the input and yes, after I got it firing the motor did need a little adjustment.....with the screwy jumper wires it was probably another one of those little things that contributes to a larger problem.
