    Best oil for Yong Heng compressor?

    This appears to be an oil that has it's main advantage in starting/operating well during extreme cold weather. but in the day time, it never gets below freezing around here; much more importantly to me is if the oil is transparent (not black or purple), so I can tell when it gets dirty by...

    San Marcos Guy-----Come on out. I am in Ramona. email is [email protected] No O-rings supplied with new impacts.... I did get a nearly complete selection from the above named supplier about a year ago when I started having problems....Still having leak issues tho. I think it is...

    first design Impact advice?

    When the washers are nested together, they don't do anything but take up space....they are supposed to act as a high compression spring, which is why they need to be facing each other. With only the center two facing each other, it makes those the only ones that can compress, making the spring...

    first design Impact advice?

    I just ordered a new reg from FX USA....75$ with shipping....They said there are only 2 designs for the Impact; Pre-AMP and AMP.. I ordered the Pre-AMP. which is supposed to fit the first two gun designs. The AMP design was made larger, no doubt to help with creep and consistency, but it will...

    first design Impact advice?

    First the gun had a power loss that kept getting worse, so I disassembled and checked the thing on the end of the long rod had not backed off and the C-3 O-ring was ok...both were good. Checked the valve too, as I heard they can crack and leak. In the process of de-gassing, using the regulator...

    Huben K1 new package

    The varmint knockers may look the same, but do they perform as well? I have seen no tests that prove it and some attempts to match the performance by other suppliers or mold makers have not been as good so far. I want the original factory slugs until I see consistent MOA or better 5 shot...

    Huben K1 new package

    Forget the boxes, We want factory slugs like you used to make!!!! You will double your gun sales if you start selling the slugs for it. I have been waiting 2 years for this to happen, and will not buy a gun until you have the ribbed slugs again.

    light 22 cal PCP pistol

    That's way too long to fit in a shoulder harness or wear all day while working the ranch, which is my goal. Foot pounds are low too..... needs higher max fill pressure. Looks nice though and great price. I think a much larger diameter, titanium reservoir, maybe inch and a quarter, that goes...

    light 22 cal PCP pistol

    thanks guys, The compact version nearly fits the bill. It is barely ok on length, the standard is too long for sure. It is a bit loud too. in the customer reviews, it looks like a high percentage have problems out of the box. I am up to here with PCP problem guns. I have had my impact apart...

    light 22 cal PCP pistol

    is there such a thing as a 22 cal pcp pistol that shoots over 600 fps, under 10 inches long overall, and quiet (shrouded)? I want one, esp if it has a 6 shot or more mag and gets at least 6 shots on a fill. if there is no such thing, what would be close? what would it take to build something...

    [WTB] light 22 cal PCP pistol

    looking for an easy carry(semi-short), close to medium range, 600 FPS+, mag fed .22 PCP pistol for day time pesting. should get at least 6 consistent shots per fill. can be a "beater", but must be trouble free and inexpensive. will probably use with red dot and/or open sights. No C02, breaks...

    Yong Heng oil changes

    I think I got my AW 46 from Oriley auto parts. it is not hard to find. I am going to switch from the purple stuff to the Husky synthetic compressor oil from Home depot though, since it is clear and easier to tell when it's dirty.

    Yong Heng oil changes

    Queequeg, I don't know the properties of hydraulic oil, but that is what the Yong Heng factory specified for use in their compressors; (AW #46 Hydraulic oil). I don't use it anymore, but I did in my first Yong Heng and for awhile in my second one. It is all speculation about what is best to...

    Yong Heng oil changes

    That looks like the top land of the piston, but the picture he posted showed no damage on his. If he posted a pic of a good piston, different than the one from his compressor, how does he expect anyone to diagnose his problem? Looks to me that we have a troll here. If so, he can figure...
