My childhood 760 Powermaster. I think first variant but not sure.

Is it Jeff aka Snapshot? Your avatar gave you away. I was Day6 on there. Those were good times.
I think this wood handle is a one year wonder. Maybe a reject design over the 1st variation handle?

Yep, that's me. Almost famous!

I remembered your avatar as well, but I can't remember you specifically. What did you ride?

It looks like yours was only made in that configuration for a couple of years. They went to all cheap plastic soon after that. I have one with the same stock and fore-arm.

I had a yellow triumph daytona 600, not a very well known bike. Rick is my name. I did some of the rides/events, but not alot of em.
That variant was one of the last good ones it seems, before they went mostly plastic. Glad i saved it.

They're not hard to fix, so you should be able to get it going again. That's a really nice one. I tried lubing mine using 'Prestone power steering fluid with leak-stop' after it started losing air. That worked and it's fine now. I'll replace the seals eventually.

We probably met at OG Mike's bike night or on one of the newbie rides, Rick. OC-Moto was a big club! I miss doing the slow race. That was always fun.

Yes, Original mikes and newbie rides are two places that i remember and maybe cooks corner. I think ocmoto is still on FB, but i dont frequent that place much at all.
I had one when i was a kid in the 70s. So i have a soft spot for the 760. I used to "band aid" fix mine all the time back then. How long does the PS fluid work for?

 

[Treefrog]

I do miss hanging out with the OCM crew. Cook's corner was always interesting for people watching.

I fell in love with my late brother's 760 back in '67 when he got it for Christmas. Lots of good memories with that gun! I eventually found one like it. It's a treasure.

That leak-seal has lasted three days so far. Lol. The problem is usually the quad-seal. The o-ring that replaces it is 4x8x2mm. You can get it at just about any auto parts place. Remember to grease it when you put it in. That helps. Youtube has some very good repair vids.

Ride safe,

Thats the one that goes in the exhaust valve, right.

 

[Treefrog]

It goes inside the nipple. That's the smaller brass piece to the left of the main valve body in this photo. (That gun was NASTY, but it was ten bucks at the flea market and it works just fine now.) You'll need a metal pick to get the old one out. They're a PITA...

[841eLE]

Yep, that bugger fails quite a bit, compared to the other seals. That's some major gunk on yours, the brass holds up pretty well though.

 

[Treefrog]

And the leak-seal lasted about five days. So I'm off to the hardware store to pick up some o-rings...

[841eLE]

Can you get that quad seal o-ring at he hardware store or do yo use a standard o-ring?

Can you get that quad seal o-ring at the hardware store or do you use a standard o-ring?

The quad-seal is an original Crosman specialty part and Crosman no longer sells them. Some online places like Alchemy AirWerks - Home sell them. The o-ring replacements for them are available everywhere.

Luck,
