FX Impact tear down

[mikew1616]

First time tearing down my Impact. I have an MK2 I’m going to add a HP kit until my power plenum arrives. Starting taking it apart and almost looks like a bumper is missing. Searched all over and can’t find it so my question is something missing or am I just being paranoid. Thanks.

Mine was the same way, must be the norm.

Thank you. Makes me feel better. Have a good area to work on just always afraid a part will go falling out

I can confirm, that there should be only one bumper-ball. This has been asked a few times before in this forum and the answer was: one bumper ball only.

Yep....just one is normal.

My Impact came directly from Ernest Rowe with only one in place.

You can another if you want added tension when closing & opening the cocking handle when compressing the ball

Sorry I missed that. Thank you for the responses and help. I’m gonna change the valve seat( I have an early MK2 so it isn’t integrated) , modify the valve housing, change the hammer weight and C3 bumper and add an external plenum. Then change it to the power plenum whenever it arrives.
