S200 dumping air
Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2020 2:16 pm
Hi All,
My new to me, but lived in s200 dump its air from time to time.
The problem being that the firing pin sticks in the forward position and so holds the valve in the cylinder open.
On taking it apart I find the C clip that should be on the inner end of the firing pin (42) sitting above the trigger blade(66) and the spring (41) behind the head of the firing pin and totally crushed.
Should the spring be on the inner end of the firing pin, holding the spring as a return spring?
If so how is the C clip refitted as its a pig to get into place inside the hammer bore?
Where can I purchase a new spring?
Direct from AA?
New to AA so don't yet know the in's and outs.
Any help appreciated
Phil
