When was the last time this tool was serviced? Bostitch makes an Oring kit for this part #N890RK I could not find the price. I would start by looking at the safety to make sure that is moves freely and is not bent. Then I would think about putting new rubber in this tool. First go to Stanleybostitch and navigate into tools and then support to look at a breakdown for this one. It is not that difficult to rebuild, if you do make sure that you put lube on the new orings and take your time rebuilding to ensure that you dont pinch one of the new rings. Hope this helps

O-ring is most likely broken or damaged. Replace it and lube the cylinder good with gun oil or MMO

N88rh bostitch nailer fires first shot without trigger depressing
Worn orings in the gun and the trigger valve will cause the gun to fire upon connecting the air. It is a good practice to remove the nails when you remove the airline until you can replace the trigger valve. I believe that you gun uses a TVA6 valve. It should be replaced when it begins to leak or if the trigger pin seems loose and rocks from side to side. Factory valve costs about 25 dollars and aftermarket sells for about 12 to 18 dollars. Good luck

Bostitch F28ww nail gun does not cycle. There is no air leak or any sound when I press the nose down and pull the trigger. It is like it has no air at all. I was using it, it fired 2 nails at the same...
It sounds like your drive pin is jammed in the barrel. Can you see that moving freely? One of the two nails it fired may have lost a piece and is jammed in the barrel between the drive pin and barrel.
If this is the problem, You'll need to take a sturdy "drift pin punch" and hammer to drive the drive pin back down into the nailer. (I use an old drive pin from a discarded nailer as a drift pin punch)
Once the piston and drive pin are free again, the nailer should work fine.

I have a N80SB stick nail gun that have been leaking air from the trigger valve but was still able to shoot nails. After 3 months of discontinued use, I plugged in the air hose and fire the first nail
A new trigger valve and o-ring kit will give you a like new gun. Just remember to replace all available o-rings in the kit, lightly grease all of them as you reassemble the gun and use pneumatic oil at the beginning of the day so you won't be doing it again in a couple months.

I was shooting 3 inch nains and I switched to 2 inch. after 20 or 30 nails it failed to drive a nail. The driver makes an indention in the wood but does not drive the nail. What are the problem...
Check that the driver is returning all the way to top of the cylinder. Driver will not return to top when lower bumper is cracked, driver is bent, or piston oring is too loose/tight or low air pressure to gun. Also check that the two inch nail is the same angle as the three in. Place the nails on the outside of the rails with the heads aligned with the rail. The first nail should align with the path of the driver. If the head of the first nail is angled back away from the path of the driver, will miss fire.

Leaks air around the trigger. Doesn't shoot the nails at 100psi, I think it is a F28WW Bostitch shoots the 2'' and 31/2'' nails
sounds like the trigger valve has a broken o ring and would need replaced. you can go to Bostitch.com and order one for it, they are not that hard to install.

Will bosch nail guns operate with Paslode brand nails?
The F28WW takes 28Deg nails that are collated with wire, so your nails won't work in that gun. The N80SB is also a 28Deg nailer so your 30 Deg nails won't work in that gun either. Sorry about the bad news but it looks like your going to have to spring for new nails
