Why is my Bostitch N71C lacking power and cycling slowly?
- CCody ButlerAug 12, 2025
The Bostitch Nail Gun might be performing weakly or cycling slowly due to several reasons: * It may need lubrication, so use BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant. * A broken cylinder cap spring could be the culprit, requiring a replacement. * The O-rings/seals might be cut or cracked, necessitating their replacement. * The exhaust could be blocked; inspect the bumper, head valve spring, and muffler. * A worn or leaky trigger assembly might need replacement. * Dirt or tar buildup on the driver requires disassembling the nose/driver for cleaning. * Incorrectly seated cylinder sleeve on the bottom bumper requires disassembly for correction. * A dry head valve needs disassembly and lubrication. * Low air pressure requires checking the air supply equipment.
