Banned. Rule And/Or Policy Violation
Have you properly lubricated the wrench with light oil down the air pipe, or in the oil hole on the side? It may just need some help getting rejuvenated. Oil will also help keep the "o" rings softer and prevent premature cracking.

heres what you wanna do.
open your gun up and first thing you should see is a gasket. take itoff and then you should see a bearing. take that off. then you should see a cylinder with slots in it containing blades almost. take all of them out and THOROUGHLY clean both the blades and the cylinder its self. (this cylinder is actually a motor). when air comes into the gun it passes through 2 a whole load of stuff and into this cylinder (or motor). these blade like things (don't know the name for them) are always flapping around to catch the compressed air therefore turning the motor. but if these blades are even the smallest bit seized then you have a problem. they won't flap around and won't catch air which means you will have a non working gun.
hope this helped

The manual says the valve is defective,does anybody know where the valve is.I have a parts diagram and only valve showing is in the forward/reverse button is this what they mean.Conan
