HELP Problem with Rovair filling a Uragan 2

[Bowhunter73]

Friend of mine has a Rovair that won't fill his Uragan 2 he got a new probe thought that was the problem but it still doesn't work it pumps up and shuts down like it is dead headed. But he can hook it up to the foster fitting on his Texan 257 and it pumps up doesn't make sense.

Uragan 2 doesn't require a special compressor, likely probe opening not lined up with gun or gun opening plugged. Try to fill Uragan another way, HPA handpump, tank, other compressor, with original and replacement probes, to narrow problem. WM

I cant see any photos showing the issue, seems to be a probe issue,,, is there one of those nylon inset seals used? they can crush and block the air flow if over tightened,,, just guessing there might be a probe to foster fitting used

NEW PROBE,,, that is where i'd look for the issue

No, U2 uses regular probe, inserted from side, after removing dust plug. Not sure picture is of U2 probe but reflects what I did to use. Corroded or failed one-way valve is also possible, few drops of silicone oil (heavyweight preferred) in end of inserted fill probe overnight might loosen one-way valve. WM

He was able to fill it with his other compressor but it won't fill with the Rovair doesn't make any sense.

Sorry I forgot to mention he's used his other compressor to fill the U2 with no problems just don't make any sense to me.

Well, that's a new one to me. Hopefully, a fellow Rovair owner can add some insight. WM

Good morning fellow airgunners my friend called this morning and told me the Rovair is now filling the U2 he had replaced the line and fittings and he had to wiggle the line and probe but it started filling his rifle makes no sense to me but it's working so that's all that matters. Thanks for the help

Good News! Likely problem with fill whip/QD fittings that happened to manifest itself with U2. Quick-Disconnect "O" rings tend to shred, before eventually failing, loose section, or loose piece, could have plugged opening. Glad it's resolved, thanks for update. WM
