GX maitenance

[bchannell]

I've been maintaining several Gx compressors for a while now, this is what my 2-3 year old CS2?looks like today.
A couple times a year I open them up and check the head and check valve. Then once a year i tear it down, clean it good and fill the piston recess with grease, lube the rest lightlt and it's good for another year.
Here's pics of how filling the piston groove with grease will lightly lube the cyl walls.

So are you just maintaining what you are showing in you pictures once a year or are you tearing it down all the way?

 

[bchannell]

This is just a periodic check. I'll tear it down evey year and regrease the whole thing.

I have yet to tear mine down and do the crank case. Going on two years old. I probably should but a little intimidated I guess. Afraid it won’t work afterwards. Lol. I have tore it down and cleaned and relubed the top and bottom end of piston.

Well, i'm pretty convinced that the gearbox is well lubed from the factory. I've opened mine, but yet to change the lube in three gears. It is a gold colored really sticky grease. I'm thinking of Lucas Red'n'Tacky to relube. I'll do one of mine in the next month.

There’s a bunch of Target Forge YouTube videos on maintenance of GX products. Bill is on the Airgun Geeks podcast and owns Target Forge. Knowledgeable and qualified technically.

Since this discussion is about maintaining the Gx compressors, I wonder if anyone can help me size the O-rings within the fill whip. It seems that the O-rings, there are 2 green O-rings in my Gx CS3-1 fill whip - 1 larger than the other, have broken into several pieces and I am unable to fit them together for a measurement. Any help is much appreciated.

Biggest mystery in air gunning " anybody tell me what size oring ...".

Lol.

What is the biggest mystery to me has to do with the manufacturers and vendors not making said O-ring sizes known. My guess is their attempt to make additional sales at inflated pricing. GX compressors for example want $9.99 plus shipping for the 'Quick Connector' O-rings (2) and will not inform me or the actual size with sent an email. Maybe I'll just order a new Quick Connector for my Fill Whip.
