I have a Bostitch N88RH Framing Nailer. High Power, shoots round head, has tip for hanger nails. It’s about 15 months old.
I didn’t use it for 4 months. Today, in the very cold, I hooked up the compressor hose, and the gun fired. I disconnected it and reconnected it, and it fired again. Then I used it all day and it was fine.
This ever happen to anyone? Any ideas what’s wrong?
I thought of the o-rings, but if the triggers not being held, how would the ring make a difference?

you may have ice in the gun holding the trigger slave..
the gun thinks you squeezed the trigger..

I think you nailed it.... ice in the trigger slave.
Four degrees this morning when I got out of the truck. Same thing happened to one of my Hitachi framers first thing this morning when I plugged in. Not that unusual in the cold and it was break your balls cold today. Had to leave the Rol-air in front of the exhaust from the truck for about 10 minutes before I could even turn it over. Left the truck running for most of the day thawing out subfloor adhesive. Had 2 inches icicles hanging off the goatee 20 minutes after getting out of the truck. Thank God for engine block heaters.
Winter rocks.
rig an insulated house fer the roll-air and put one of those little electic heaters in with it...
put 5 or 10 weight oil in the compressor... non detergent...
my Senco's will do that on sub-zero days....

i hate bostich just because of the misfires. if you need to shoot 3 boxes buy 4 so you can blow nails all over the job site.i have had them fire when the air hits the gun,i don't know but i always figured the valve that lets the air into the chamber is sicky when cold and lets a blast of air into the chamber. just be careful with it and if somebody has a sale on a different gun and takes trades dump it. lol larry
hand me the chainsaw, i need to trim the casing just a hair.
