A nailer will misfire if the next nail cannot advance to proper position. Make sure that the nails move freely in the rails. If the nails move freely then most likely the piston driver is not moving back up all the way to top of cylinder. This can happen if the piston oring is too loose or too tight. The piston oring should hold the piston in place without dropping down the cylinder. Also not so tight that there is too much friction. If the piston seems correct then check for debris in the head causing restriction of the discharge air. Remove the head valve to make sure all parts are ok. If headvalve and discharge port seems ok then air must be leaking past the nose of the gun. Under the bumper is a metal washer that helps to prevent too much air from leaking down the nose. You can make a good seal out of a piece of innertube to create more pressure for pushing the piston up. Cut a circle of rubber to fit under the bumper and on top of the metal washer, the bumper will hold it in place. Cut a slit or hole so that the piston driver will just fit snuggly. You should have solved the problem. Good luck with your repair.

Stuart - this sounds like an air problem - you should perform the following test. With the air nailer close to the compressor you must monitor the airpressure after the gun fires. it sounds like the air is not gettting through diapram fast enough or there is a blockage in line. Blockage in line is not suspected for the following reason . It sounds like the air hose is holding enough air to fire 2-4 nails and then you must wait for the line to fill up again and then it fires ok. The pressure regulator out to the line controls this and they do fail. try this test and report back to me - I know I can solve this for you as I have extensive background in compressor and the like.

The F28WW takes 28Deg nails that are collated with wire, so your nails won't work in that gun. The N80SB is also a 28Deg nailer so your 30 Deg nails won't work in that gun either. Sorry about the bad news but it looks like your going to have to spring for new nails

Hi,
Yes you need to oil driver blade piston.
You need to check for spark. With no nail or gas in it. Take of main cylinder(4bolts on top, 2 bolts on nose. And then put in battery. And then push upper switch(behind roller at top) and the fan will come on. And then pull the trigger. You should have spark.
Thanks,
Jeff

When you cleaned it, you may have pinched the large brown o-ring that is around the fan. Take gun apart again and reassemble. before you place the orange head valve cover on, press the nose of the gun into a wood surface and assure the o-ring goes into chamber unrestricted. Basically, the aluminum fingers of the cylinder should not pinch off the o-ring.
Testimonial: "I ordered a rebuild kit and this took care of the problem!(spark plug, new filter o ring etc) Thanks for all the assistance!!!"
