Cheers mate 😀 bit different feel and filming in this vid.. Regards the rotten bearing, strangely the upstream one , although grotty was nowhere near as corroded. Best guess is the bleed valve chewed it up and the plating started to break away from it and was ejected on bleeding it. It'll be swapped for a stainless one when they arrive... And I'll monitor it. Surprisingly the inline whip filters do a decent job of stopping moisture before they reach the air cylinder.. of i didn't have the 300bar fill rifles then it'd probably best to stick with the dive bottles tbh 😉

Hi mate. The chassis version only really needs a rear bag rider to bring the geometry in line with worlds br rules. There's a conveniently placed uit rail right in the perfect spot... A wider front wedge ofcourse would be useful too for any br disciplines. I'm currently winning my division in nsra br with the chassis version. Last minute change too so it's not even fully tested ,I just went and sent it... I'll be doing a vid on that down the line, hopefully I can keep my calm and win the division on film.... 😉

Thanks mate, it's a bit different to the usual content and filmed differently too. That vid was all filmed on the new phone. The footage and fast auto focus give great footage.absolute pain to edit compared the GoPro and DJI cameras though...😉

@@tillysgunstocks Looking forward to more. Quality over quantity, there's only so much airgun content that can be made interesting as other channels have discovered.

That's what I've ordered mate 😀😉

Cor yeah these mini compressors are only really suited for direct fills, I imagine the poor thing would melt trying to do a 12ltr 😬🫣

@@tillysgunstocks It was bad!, it was running and sounded like an 100 year old stationary engine.😫

😆lol yeah it was just a bit of bloke maths.. The wulf compressor is just a rebranded tuxing of sorts, 90% of the smaller ones originated there, and yep absolutely it needs the rings replacing although it looks like this piston is only available as a complete unit🤔

@@tillysgunstocks Yeah unfortunately most products are made in China these days and a lot of them are virtually the same units with a different brand name. I own the 'ToAuto' which looks almost exactly the same as your Tuxing, other than my ToAuto is a nice bright orange. I've rarely used it as of yet so only time will tell if it lasts or not. I don't think my ToAuto bleed screw has a bearing and has a pointed tip instead.

Absolutely mate, this piston needs sorting. Once I've checked the rear seal and alignment of the compressor to motor ,I'll either strip this piston or replace it. This one doesn't appear to be serviceable like later ones that have a screw slot across the end to allow removal of the small piston ring though.. I'll have to dive deeper 😉

The main reason I tried the grease mate, was to see if any works it's way out the back of the main con rod seal. It feels ok but I feel it might have been damaged with the constant banging from the crankshaft 🤔 not entirely sure just yet,but it's a fun little project and doesn't owe me any money now 😉😎

It could be mate but I'm not entirely sure.i really wish I had stripped it from new and inspected it then. Currently best guess is burnt up lubricant or dirt/dust ingress. However on the dust ingress there was no dust inside the inlet reed valve so not entirely sure right now.im sure I'll work it out in time and do an update vid 😉

That's great news mate thank you 😉 A compressor of sorts is an absolute game changer really. The convenience of it really is the important thing for me. These cheap compressor aren't too bad as long as you have adequate online moisture filters and understand that it'll likely need regular service/maintenance All in all I'm happy with this one so far all things considered 😉

That's interesting regarding the fine dust mate. I've got some plans for down the line so we can collect any dust from the inlet using some of my dust mask material. It'll be interesting to monitor it. Got a few tweeks to make first but overall It wasn't a bad buy so far 😉

@@tillysgunstocks Yes good idea on the filtration. It would be great if we could screw a P3 cannister (eg 3M brand) onto the inlet but there's not enough room in the case. Taping some P2 mask material over the sintered filter will probably work almost as well. If/When I get one I'll probably do this mod right out of the gate unless they've added something to it.

Hi mate, yeah all my cylinders are showing no signs of corrosion or anything sketchy. Saying that though, none of my rifles bar the steel cylinder on the s510 have anything ferrous inside of them. Infact most don't even have much in the way of brass. Often we see pics of heavy green corrosion on brass parts , a few people tell me that is often down to the lubricants used as it seems quite common on the BSA PCPs even ones that have been filled with dry dive bottle air. Having said that, it's never good to be complacent and decent inline filtration is a must 😉

Thanks for the confirmation that all is well ,i’ve all ways use dive bottle air ,as i know it’s dry ! Filtration in-line filter is the way to go ,was not aware of that ! Years ago i had a hills manual pump with the add on that was to remove moisture ! Pumped up my rapids bottle and when detaching line (water poured out from the hose /connector ,sort of put me off !

Turn your phone upside down, you'll see the savage little computer fan 😆😆 . It's seldom been over 30°c in use confirmed with my ir thermometer 😉

@@tillysgunstocks ahhh there it is... hard to see with such a poor lighting setup, how am I expected to work in these conditions??? Poor position - no direct cooling on the pressure tubes on the top & with a thin wall the top & un-lubed(?) part of that cylinder may be a little warm. A+ on the IR work though, probably just really crappy grease

I saw these some years ago, back then it was easier for me to get bottles filled ,but nowdays I run the compressor,bottles occasionally and the club also has bottles of I need a top up there. It's great we have such choice available eh!

Possibly mate, I can't be certain.. I wish I'd stripped it from new now and given it an inspection 😬

Hi mate, I think one of the most recent tuxings with the better filtration and a good quality inline moisture filter could be a good bet. They're pretty good spares wise,if you're handy with the spanners 😉

Absolutely mate, got to sort the alignment first then I'll look at either a new piston or seeing if I can dismantle this one to replace the mini seals in the central housing 😉

Hi mate. Damn it.. I knew it had a particular name🫣😆 but couldn't place it when filming.. I'm a bit too young to have been a 2stroke tinkerer... 😎

Come to the dark side of PCP... You know you want too 😈😈 😉😆

It could well be mate, I don't know for sure but I believe the principles are broadly the same🤔

Yeah a bit of bloke maths there 😆😆. But we got the point .. 😉

It was cool to see it eh.. that's why it was filmed over 2 days. I had to formulate a plan to try and re align it all. I did strip the gearbox and bits too but the vid was long enough already 😆and my idea didn't work... I think I'm going to drill out the captive nuts in the box section and just slot the holes with a file. I don't have much Metal working stuff in the shed to do a clean job of opening up the big end bearing piece. I'll just fit some nylock nuts to the long bolts with it lowered a few mill. Hopefully that will work out ok with what I've got here and should align it nicely.. 😉

I also stripped down all the gearbox on the motor too, but the vid was already way too long 😆 I would say though mate, that this is the sort of level of service work this type of compressor will need periodically to keep them running well 😬😉

After seeing this video, I would attempt with my toauto. Thanks

@@darwinwilde6973 awesome stuff mate glad the vids been of use 😉

@@tillysgunstocks I just bought one, not this brand, but I sure hope I don't have to take it apart to this degree!

You're correct, I'm poor but my tools... They pay their keep😉

Cheers mate, something a bit different eh 😉

Cheers mate, from what I gather the nomad is a rebranded tuxing so should be able to be repaired with relative ease🤔 For those of us who can tinker,these tuxings aren't bad really when you know the pitfalls , especially for the modest price... 😉

Yep if I had a local dive shop I'd probably stick with a bottle,but it is convenient for short top ups with the compressor especially on the 300bar fill stuff😉

I don't think it'd have been long before it went pop completely 😆

Interestingly mate Some of these failed British standard testing on the power supply unit. My one would fail that. But not one model so far has failed on the actual compressor or high pressure parts,which is kinda reassuring.. The hill doesn't make sense for me right now as I've got bottles here and the club has them too. But it'd sure be nice to have a British one..

I have seen your wiring issues 🙀, very scary. Do wonder if a quality filter system may have prevented the internal debris 🤔 From an old man with over 60 years experience, still learning, thanks 👍

That's what I could get one for 18 months ago when I bought el cheapo😳 I've just looked at current models... That's a fair chunk of money now 🫣

@tillysgunstocks I was looking at one the other day, amazing compressor, but not cheap

Hi mate, I'm inclined to agree it's most likely burnt up silicon oil. I wish I'd pulled it apart from new to see what ,if any lube was in the bore then.. It'll be interesting to see how the grease lasts for a few fills. I'm half expecting it to have migrated out the rear seal where the con rod gets smacked on each revolution ,the rear seal could be ovalled or something 🤔

I think it's a learning curve for all of us mate as we iron out the kinks in the design of the compressors. Yeah this particular piston only comes as a complete unit,it's only about 15quid so won't break the bank and worth a punt. I'm half expecting to see the grease in the bore migrate out the rear seal. That smack from the crank isn't doing it any favours. I had considered elongating the big end slot a bit,but I've not really got the best tooling here for that,well not neatly anyhow. I think I'm going to drill the captive nuts out in the pressed Steel frame and elongate them holes with a file to slots so I can lower the cylinder down a few mill. Just pop some nylock nuts on the inside. Should be easy to do with the tools I've got to hand in the shed. I'll do a video as it progresses,it might well keep plenty of others in better health going forward 😉

Bummer. Looks like I can't post a link to my channel's video that shows how much water is expelled...

This one is pretty good in terms of moisture getting into the cylinders. The little filter needs changing every fortnight,but the large inline ones I have stay particularly dry. The moisture seems to just stay in the compressor and eats it away 😆

Yes to both mate. I'll let the guys at the club know about the other chap. Often it's a run over to Ramsgate or cliftonville.. I've got a couple dive bottles as do the club and I've the tuxing for the high pressure fills. I'll get it up and running well in time, should be fairly easy to sort it.. I hope...

I'm going to have a look mate at adding an oiling port, possibly something from a higher spec model that can be retro fitted. I'm monitoring it for a bit with the grease to see wether it migrated out the rear seal. I can't imagine (although it feels good) that it's as airtight as we want now🤔

Be interesting to see whats going on with the grease probably just wiped away, you could invest in some Teflon grease and do the same it leaves a slippery surface once wiped away, great for us to ride along thanks again.

It was bloke maths😆😆 I'm kinda curious now with the tuxing how long I can keep it running for. The parts are super cheap and I'd like to look at adding some sort of oiling port ,maybe the bits from the higher spec models will retro fit... Not sure but it doesn't owe me anything now..and well I just like to mess about with this stuff 🤔😆

Cheers mate, it's so easy to work on and there's definitely scope to further improve it... I need to sort the alignment out to stop the crank smacking the con rod down on every rotation,I suspect that the rear seal (although it looks good) has sustained some damage. Ill get round to it eventually and also add some ports for periodic oiling.. 😉

Another great video,you are a braver man than me

@madness6780 brave or stupid...I'm not so sure 😆😆 😉

@@tillysgunstocks This may sound like a silly suggestion. Once you have improved the alignment of the crank would it be worth making some guide/packing pieces from delrin or teflon? There must be some industrial place that dumps suitable offcuts. I watch with eager anticipation as I was given a different unit with the same compressor that is mounted vertically and it makes exactly the same unhappy clunking noise as yours. Another cracking presentation by your good self as usual.

Hi mate,I'm kinda gutted I didn't strip this one from new and see what it was like in the bore from factory. I've got an idea for some t pieces each end of the piston to allow oiling and dowty washers to seal it back up. It's just like adult Lego really. There's plenty of scope to improve it. Got to get the crank and pistol aligned though first. Every rotation smacks the con rod down and the rear seal is getting a beating. Theres really nothing inside that is overly complex which is great.. 😉

This one is begging for a few mods, luckily spares are super cheap and readily available. There's scope to make some significant improvement,which for the modest price isn't really a problem 😉

🤣🤣 I can't shoot it very far,I'm way too wobbly...🤣 Ive been playing about with the power and stuff ,just learning what it can do at various speeds. It'd be useful for pistol hft I'm sure but there's no easy option for an optic of sorts as yet. Next pistol vid I'll try it outdoors on the range. I did try it on the 25yd indoors and it was surprisingly good but not tried past that yet😉

@@tillysgunstocks looking forward to it! cheers mate

I was at the range this morning shooting my br comp cards.. I absolutely missed taking the pistol to the club.. it's really challenging me right now. I'll check the book out, thank you for the tip! I need all the help I can get 🤣
