Has anyone ever had this problem w/impulse framing gun?
You shoot maybe 3nails max and the cap on the fuel cell pops
off. Then no more shoot. Stop what your doing, take gas cyclinder
out and resecure top, reinsert cyclinder and shoot 1-3 nails, then
repeat…
I have taken some gorrilla glue and glued the top to the cyclinder
but that is kinda of ridiculous when there must be something else
wrong…..anybody have this problem before????????????????
If so can you help w/a fix??????

They come with the cap not seated on the cylinder, did you snap it on before installing in the gun?

Yes I did or it wouldn't be shootin at all :-)anyother ideas??????
I've never had anything like that with any of the Paslode guns but wondering, what if you change cylinders?
Doug
It does it with all of thembut just to be sure I will try a different cell.
not with any of my impulse stuff, but if I remember correctly there is a rubber/foam piece in the bottom of the cylinder well. if that were missing, the recoil would likely cause the problem you are dscrb. ps sorry for the poor typing,wiggling infant in other hand.

Well, there isn't anything in the "well" did'nt know that there was supposed to be, but if that is the caseit seems it would only compund the problem
I'll be rolling thru my shop Sunday. I'll check one of my framers to be sure it was those I saw the buffer thingy in.

I just went out and looked at my framers and there is a foam strip down at the bottom but its pretty thin, don't know that it would have much impact on the bump of the gun?
BTW, my finish guns don't have anything in the bottom of them, course the charge is less because its a finish gun.

see previous post
It is starting to make sense to me now, if thereis supposed to be "something" at the bottom of the welland it is missing, when I push to shoot, there is nothingthere to prevent the fuel cell from being pushed down to far.I'm wondering if I put a dime in the bottom if that will work....?Thanks for the help.
Butch
I don't think a dime would be enough.
Try a piece of corrugated cardboard, that'd be about the thickness of what my foam piece is.
Doug
Thanks for that info, I'm headed to the trucknow to see if this breaktime engineering works (-:
Well my foam pc. was still in the cyclinder hole....tried a pc. of cardboard, to thick, so I splitit in half and it works great, espically after cleaning.
Ive never had that problem because I've never been able to get the gun to shoot 3 times in a row!
Consider yourself lucky.

Shiet man, you guys scare me.
I've had a framer and a trimmer for 4 years now and never had any problem at all with the operation outside of putting new fuel cartridges in when needed.
You all got me half expecting the things to malfunction.

Have you never had to clean it....ever?If not I would be expecting problemsbe expecting problems....
<never been able to get the gun to shoot 3 times in a row!>That's what she said...LOL!
is your's the old black one, or the newer orange one? I have both. The black one works better as a doorstop than a nail ddriver, but the new orange has never been a problem

Come on Piff, he probably modified it right out of the box!
You know, get rid of all that safety stuff that just gets in the way, kinda makes em work better.
