Pumped up the Disco and AT 44-10 last fall and let them set.
Got ready for spring and both at full pressure . . . That is a good thing.
First and "foremost" the Disco . . .
It shoots those JSB EXACT 18.13s even better than I remember, but then it is time to air her back up.
Tried yesterday PM and no pressure build up, so I put it off til now. Put a dab of silicone on the fitting, hooked up and pressure builds to about 50-75 bar with no apparent (heard) leaks, but not any higher.
Why is the pump shaft black, that is new, have not seen that before.
When I examine it I find about 0.25" wide band of concentric roughness about 1.25" from the brass base nut.
I am guessing that since I do not have a drier on the intake it had moisture in it last fall, set there all winter and corroded.
Save 20-30 bucks on an air intake drier and eat up a 190 dollar pump, NOT very cost effective
Suggestions?
Tear it down look for other damage and order new seals and cylinder/chamber? I could not find the cylinder listed on Crosman's site, but did not look too hard.
Toss it and buy someone else's pump (which one, gotta fill 2000, and 3000 psi guns)?
Find someone on the net that bought a Discovery and pump and wimped out pumping?
NO, tanks are out.
Both guns seem to be OK. so maybe I only damaged the pump.
