BENJAMIN HAND PUMP PROBLEMS

[hawkeye]

NEVER TAKE THE PUMP APART WITHOUT THE INSTRUCTIONS! My wife and I sat down yesterday afternoon at our kitchen table and replaced three seals in the pump and the pump is working fine. Sorry folks I tend to ramble at times. If your pump is still under warranty let crosman take care of it, but if it is not you should be able to take care of it at a low cost do not forget INSTRUCTIONS!

Hey Roger,

Can you post a copy of the instructions? I have a pump that seems to have the same problems.

Thanks,

Tom

Did anyone ever get the instructions loaded ???
Pump number 4 just bit the dust

And this 4th pump was only used to top off the gun to 3000 psi when my Scuba Tank was running low.

What a waste of 200 bucks...Should've bought a Hill !!!

Like a lot of others I have had bad luck with the Benj pump, I have burned through 3 in the last year (and Isuspect number 4 is going to fail. I am looking at another manuf and am considring the Air Venturi, does anyone have any experience with this pump?

Well my benjamin pump stopped working today. Like it had a vaccum on it. I have only used it 4 times. Had the gun 2 days. I took the pump apart following the instructions and I could not believe the amount of black gritty watery looking stuff inside. I thought I would be replacing an o ring but didn't see any that looked bad. I cleaned everything put oring lube on o rings and put it back together. Pump is now working again and not sure if it is not pumping the gun up faster than before.

Only two days, and the pump crapped out on you?!?!?

Yes only 2 days used the pump 4 times. Once to fill from empty, took about 30 minutes, let it rest for a few minutes after every 20 to 25 pumps. Then 3 more times to fill from around 1900 back to 2500. But today I used the crap out of it (trying to tune the gun) it held up today for the most part but it not pumping now like I think it should. I thought a couple times it was going to lock up on me again but it didnt.
