A buddy gave me this gun so I didn't know what was wrong with it except it wouldn't fire. Not miss but not fire at all. I went through the inside striker, cylinder, etc. last night and every thing looked good. Cleaned and lubed good. Tonight I'm taking the nail chamber, nose, etc. off. I believe it's the safety mechanism out of adjustment that keeps it from firing.. Any suggestions on that?@@Mikeattempts

@@dougjohn45 If that safety linkage is bent or misaligned, it might not be able to push the hinged metal plate behind the trigger, which contacts the valve pin. Or, it might have been reinstalled incorrectly and isn't on the correct side of that metal plate.

great job dude!

Lots of pitting on the aluminum (magnesium?) sleeve from water corrosion. This tells me a better water separator and a tool oiler would be advisable on the compressor. I would have enjoyed seeing an attempt to rehab the sleeve with a cylinder hone. Hard to tell how deep the pitting was.

I'm not sure how bad it would have been if I had just cleaned it by hand. Soaking it, at least for the amount of time I did, completely ruined it. I assume the sleeve was made from a composite of 2 or more types of metal and the cleaner I used ate one of the metals away, leaving the white deposits. I might have been able to save it before the soak, but no amount of honing would have saved it after. :)

It worked 😉

So fixed my leak from other comments I left, now I'm not able to drive nails however. First time dealing with piston problem for me. I can drive the first nail but doesn't sink, then the next won't feed because driver doesn't retract far enough to allow clearance for next one Where should I start diagnosing this issue? Keep in mind just did full gasket/seal rebuild on the top of the gun

I had this problem recently with a pneumatic stapler. It turned out to be the front bumper. It was still in one piece, but it had no "bounce" left at all. Also be sure to pre-lube the inside of the cylinder/sleeve and the new driver O-ring liberally during re-assembly.

Video, really well done. Can u guve me an idea of cost, i just inherited one nyself. Btw. Merry x!

I replaced everything and o rings weren't even bad. New seal and it leaks out the side of the back cover. Only damage is the guide pin for the back cover is broken. But I don't see how that would effect anything being the seal covers it.

I'm no pro but you might just need a new gasket for the back cover. I could have tears, cracks, or just over compressed at this point. Just be sure you hand tighten those bolts so you're sure they're good and tight.

For a novice, what angle nails does this gun take. I can't find anywhere that is says.

Got another F350S in for repair, trigger not actuating. Basically perpetually pressed in and won't release outwards Took out retaining pin and grommet, pulled trigger out and saw there is no spring behind the trigger like at 03:28 in your video So now I went into the diagram for it to order part and notice there's not even a spring in the diagram. But I definitely have that little nipple to catch the spring just like in your video Any ideas?

@@caminotorino4547 Oh, sorry, I thought the valve pin spring was the one you were talking about. I don't see that spring in my parts diagram either but any spring that fits around the little nubs would work fine. However, I can't imagine that's why it's leaking. I would assume issue is with the valve. With the trigger off, if you connect an air hose, does it still leak? If so then it doesn't have anything to do with the trigger.
