Thread: paslode gun issue

hey gents i m new on here. my name is george a carpenter by trade. mainly doors, skirtings, architraves, pergolas deckings, framing... etc.

i ve had many paslode guns over the years but that last one i bought, a finish nailer 16ga has been giving me grief. it keeps missfiring more like fully not starting and the light on the handle flashes red and green. i first had this problem about 7 months ago, took the gun to the tool repairer and he told me it was the motor that was gone. we changed that, it worked for a couple of weeks and did it again. i took it back and the guy said it s the spark unit. we changed that. 6 months later i took the gun for a major service. got it back and 2 days later, the same problem again, green red flashing and gun not working. me furious wanting to kill the guy took it back to him and told him that i just paid $170 2 days ago and now the gun s not working. anyway after an argument i told him to #### off and took the gun to another repairer. he found a bad wire going from the motor to the spark unit. changed that, it worked for a day and today again green red green red. if it wasnt worth 600 odd bucks i would have broken the thing. i called the new repairer and told him he said he doesnt know what the issue is. i feel like i ve been getting ripped off by these smart bastards and the issue s something stupid that they keep not fixing so they can keep stealing my money.

now has anyone had this issue and found the solution? cheers guys.
