Grumbler in Training
First let me say that I know that I may be the only framer on the planet that still has one of these, Fletcher 5100 v-nailer, but I'm also pretty sure that I'm not the first one to have this problem so maybe someone can help.
I bought this one new in 97, my first and only v-nailer, and it's worked fine up until yesterday. It jamed on me and since it's so old and I decided to just totally take the firing mechanism apart to see what made it tick. Anyway after putting it back together it works "almost" fine again. I say almost because it now wants to drive 2 nails at a time????
I was hoping to keep this one around, and working, till next year, I wanted to get a full 10 years out of it before I bought a new one. If anyone had this machine and has a suggestion as to how to remedy my 2 nail delimma I'd like to hear from you.
Thanks.
Marty
