    Issues with brand new GX CS4 compressor

    I asked for a warranty replacement and received this reply from GX a little bit ago: I'm getting a very bad feeling about this. I responded: Hi Jason, You should pay for return shipping, correct? What does it mean "we will have a check"? - Rick

    Issues with brand new GX CS4 compressor

    After hours of research here at Airgun nation and on Youtube, I decided on the GX CS4. A properly functioning unit should more that fit my needs. I'll be using to fill my FX Crown bottle directly, so no large bottle fills, just easy peasy filling. If I average filling my bottle from 150bar to...

    My last dead head test to 300 bar went up to 2 minutes 50 seconds. Prior to flushing with water I removed the check valve and cleaned out the gunk, and ran for an hour, per their instructions. After flushing with water I removed the check valve again, was clean, but running compressor blew out...

    Issues with brand new GX CS4 compressor

    Yes, I ran water through the cylinder exactly per their instructions. Some here have thought that was a bad idea, but if I'm potentialy doing a warranty I need to follow their troubleshooting protocol. Maybe it is the rings? But, how much work should I do on a brand new unit. I'm inclined to...

    Issues with brand new GX CS4 compressor

    Yes, I think you might be missing something. My brand new CS4 was intermittingly filling very slow (over 2 minutes dead head test compared to times of 24-28 seconds I’ve seen shared online. GX sent me suggestions of what to try. One of the videos from GX Support showed how to flush the check...

    Issues with brand new GX CS4 compressor

    Last week I received a GX CS4 compressor ordered directly from the company. Intended use is to refill the 580cc tank on my FX Crown. My first Dead head test after unboxing took 32 seconds to 300 bar. I topped off my Crown and it took about 5 minutes, very happy. Then the pump started having...

    Antifreeze in your pcp compressor?

    My understanding: 1. For cooling distilled water will outperform antifreeze, so only use antifreeze if your compressor will be in below freezing conditions. 2. You can use an additive, like water wetter or Rislone Hypercool which will provide additional corrosion protection and help to run...

    FX FX DRS Slow Shot - Solved

    Very interesting! I've had a low first shot issue on my FX Crown that I know isn't the result of regulator creep. The issue has persisted after replacing the valve stem due to a leak. I wish I would have known about this possibility when I had things apart for that fix. It's not a super...

    Epoxy for carbon fiber tube

    This for FX? For my Crown I used JB Weld. Heated it with hair dryer to reduce viscosity making it easier to apply. Made a big difference in locking in POI. Highly recommend. ( I initially tried to used carbon fiber tube by taping it in place, much muich better to use epoxy)
