Would love to win something here. Thanks for the opportunity.

Hey everyone, In back with a compressor question. Ordered my rebuild kit as recommended by Bigragu. The folks at Tuxingcn.com were very helpful and went out of their way to make sure I got what I needed. Even to the point of sending a few things I didn't order. I had requested some...

Bigragu, two follow up questions, as I mentioned, I've never traveled this way b4, did you replace the piston rings on the low pressure end too. How did you get the piston rings on the high end. I see they separate. Do you have a tool that they slide onto? I have to order parts so didn't know if...

Thanks for the info Bigragu. This is a great help. I'm sure the replacement parts cost will be better than a new compressor. I have never rebuilt a motor b4 but will try since I really couldn't get a new compressor without first finding a new place to live, without my wife! 😊

Hey guys,I'm back with an other Compressor problem. I have the Hatsan Lightning, was glib my tank and pressure reached 3900 and then there was a change in the noise of the compressor then the comoressor air filter blew off and the compressor shut down. Now I get no pressure at all. Checked all...

Okay guys, I'm back to trying to fix my hatsan compressor. Taking the second cylinder head off. How do I remove this head. It appears to be in two parts the main body and a "lid" which is about 1/4 inch thick and appears to be sealed with something. I have tried using hand pressure, no...

Hey all, I took a couple pics today that may help with the last few questions/comments regarding the comparison between the AV and Hatsan Lightning compressors. I just was putting things back together and thought I would show some pics, they may be helpful to someone. Things still aren’t...

Okay, here are the promised pictures. I’ll post them first. Then I need some input. Below are the replacement piston seals that were included in the rebuild kit sent with the Lightning compressor. Then a picture of the existing seals on the piston. Also, take note of the one picture of the...

Thanks for the link on the Nylog product. I will add it to my next amazon order. 

I will try to take the pictures when I get another chance to work on it. I have it apart so that should be easy. I can tell you that it has 4 rings on the piston rod and they are not continuous. The have a split in them. I looked them over really good to see if they were worn. At first I...

Thanks for the info. Also, regarding your other questions, I did go through the startup procedures from the manual as outlined and I am using the recommended fluids. I have owned my compressor for just over a year (Oct 18). So I have used it quite a bit with no issues, but only had right at 7...

Here is the picture of the bad o-ring before removal. Thought I would send it, it may be helpful to someone. Also, I got a response from Hatsan that they do have maintenance kits. No word on how to order one. So I had to send another request to ask for details on how to get one ordered. Rgwv

One other question. How tight is tight? Should these bolts be torqued with a torque wrench. I don’t have one, but if necessary i will find one. Thanks rgwv
