My gun suddenly started leaking wildly from back 2 days ago. I replaced the (broken) gasket (Amazon order 910767), I reassembled, and it gets up to pressure and works, but it's still leaking slightly at the deflector. I guess I will next try replacing the O-ring inside the deflector assembly, tho that part seems to have a longer shipping time. Anyway, thanks for the video. Good job.
Hi. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Glad the video mostly helped. There are one or two O Rings in the top under the Deflector which could indeed be a secondary leak. You could take them out one at a time and see if the leak gets worse and that would kind or point to them. There's also one down low on the outside of the cylinder. The seal around the piston is a Scarf Seal basically acting as piston ring, so that one is not in play. I don't know the air path through it, but the one (or two) up type I'd say are the most likely suspects. If there's a good AC Supplier or shop where you are or a Diesel/Hydraulic Supplier or Shop near you, or a real mom and pop auto parts store (not Autozone etc lol) you could call around and see who's willing to let you come by with your old ones and match them up while waiting on the others to arrive or if you haven't ordered them. There's nothing special about them. There's probably a kit that has them all in there that might ship quicker.
