Got my old framing nail gun and started looking into why it wasn't working. This gun has been out of commission for over 2 years because of a bad air leak that wouldn't build enough pressure to even use. Today we remedy it with a very simple and quick fix.

    Very helpful! Was about to throw away 3 guns of different sizes. You inspired me to repair them instead. You are a great teacher.

    Three weeks ago I threw away 2 Bostitch nailers that were doing the same thing. I couldn't figure out what the issue was; I thought it was a piston problem. Next time I'll know what to look for. Thanks!
