problem with a fx pump and member who sold it

[riflehunter583 58]

a couple of weeks ago i brought a an fx pump and gun setup off a forum member called hairy biker. he said it was in full working order apart from the hose. so i replaced the hose with another hose. but the pump seems almost impossible to pump compared with another fx pump i have. i can only seem to pump it to 50 bar with great difficulty until it locks solid, and the pump moves up a few inchs on its own then stops, lock up. has anyone got any idea how to fix this supposed 'full working order' pump or what might be wrong with it?

Think its the main seal inside. But I don't know anything else

It needs a service.

Mine did exactly the same.

Easy enough to do yourself :-D

is it the two big blacks seals and some silicon grease?

anyone know a supplier of parts for these pumps?

not cheap, but the gear they sell is top notch

But they are cheaper if you buy direct from Hills as in the link I posted Neil

thanks guys.

 

my mate has totally stripped it down for me to repair as he has a workshop. even managed to get the thread locked brass type screw off without damaging the nut.

 

but has sadly melted the plastic behind the bleed valve.
