Pasload Nail Gun Not Firing. Fix!!! 

Big thanks dude! Fixed my gun with this video and its running like a new one.

Bang! Right on the money. Gas passage was partially carboned up. As you mentioned, the yellow plastic director was a bit dirty but the metal passage into the cylinder was severely restricted. Thanks for such a clear and concise video. I have a new working tool now. 👌

I had a problem with my nailer not firing. I don't use it very often, but it's super handy for small framing projects. I cleaned it, installed a new spark plug, etc. Nothing worked. The fan would turn on when pressed on the work piece, but wouldn't fire. It was like that for a year and I would periodically try to fire it up and see if it miraculously would start to work. I was about to send it in for service, or spend $400 on a new one. Then it came to me to change the gas cartridge from the two that I had been trying which were still full. I put in a new one and voila, firing every time. Turns out that the gas cartridges were expired, maybe 4 or 5 years old. The gun has been working fine ever since. Moral of the story: check the expiration date on the gas cartridges, they go bad.

Spot on , didn't look dirty but gave a clean and bang you were on the money ...thanks..off to work I go again..

Thanks very much for going to the trouble to produce this video great clear presentation

Paslode makes a aerosol cleaner for that purpose,having used and own many of these nailers keep them clean is the one thing many guys don't do religiously. Drywall dust is the biggest enemy of these guns.

just fixed mine by manually pushing the gas harder into the gas passage. The mechanism that pushes it is worn out or something and not pushing it far enough. I could smell fuel but it was not reaching the combustion area.

Working a treat now. Tried everything else but that one fixed it. Thanks.

Excellent video! Will definitely try this method. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Thanks Andy spot on with the clean and removal of the back and even though it looked clean but it worked thanks for your video

Thanks for the tip. Sometimes it's not easy to see if you have a nail jam because the symptoms are the same, the gun won't fire and the fan will come on. Ditto if the fuel cartridge has expired.

I’v e had a paslode straight nailgun since 2000 never cleaned it shot over 20,000 nails easily and still kicking til this day. upgraded to an angled after two years here i am on how to fix it😡

Very helpful, thank you !

I tookk everything apart only to discover the gas was outdated. Bought new fuel and off in running - at least the filter is clean.

Can anyone tell me why passlodea don’t shoot the last 3-5 nails?? I’ve been wasting a lot of nails this way.

ALL Paslodes quit working in short order, service frequency WAY to quick .Experienced with both framing and finishing I just purchased another new finishing nailer and sure enough, after about 500 nails later, no fire, not dealing with them anymore for the $$$ big mistake ..headache

Nothing you did would affect the fan operation, why didn't`t you try to operate the nailer on camera after the "tuneup"?

Amazed you didn't show the gun firing and fixing two pieces of timber together. How the hell would anybody know it was FIXED.

My gun will not fire

The dude who was about to get rid of this gun is an idiot. They send you full schematics with those guns and explain how to fix anything on it and most common problems. Guns are so easily fixable everytime, Had one for 10 years now

Most of the time the gun is just turned around, made me giddy 🤬

U went through that whole exercise without firing the gun.

I HATE THIS GUN. IT'S LIKE OUR CATS, THEY PLAY WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT!!! HAVE TWO, THE FRAMER AND THE FINISH , BOTH JUNK. OH YEAH, DID I MENTION I HATE THEM!!!!!

Fluff and useless talk until 2:00 please youtubers just get to the content.

Hmm so you didn't show us the gun not firing, didnt show you cleaning it, which i doubt happened as that gun doesn't even look used & looks like its just come oit of the box & to top it off didnt show the gun working either.
