One other thing I would recommend for the reg pin that I use is called Bel Ray food grade grease. My gun has seemed to perform better after trying it like 6 months ago when I got my EMag. The only problem is that I don't know where to get the stuff. I work in a food ingriedients plant and we can't use any lubes w/ petroleum distillates so we don't contaminate anything. Also the stuff is made not to swell seals b/c some of the machines to which it is applied have tight seal tolerances and swelling would cause lots of problems.

Well I can tell you that RobAGD and Tunaman tipped me off to this. And Rob originaly instructed to mix a tiny bit of Dow33 with some marker oil into a thin paste. And coat the pin with this. And thats a great solution. It stays forever! But I have since found marker oil alone seems to do fine for a good while. Maybe not as long but most people have it. It gets them up and running. But if you can find some Dow and do that like once a year or so. Not a bad idea. At least maybe every 6 months oil that pin directly. It stays on there pretty good. But it seems to be difficult to get it to that area through the air line. So it takes a direct application to do it right and it can cause all sorts of sticking issues when the valve is fairly new. Eventually it would free up on its own probably. But why put up with that mess until it does. Easy fix and the fix is very long lasting. It is now the first thing I do to a X valve before I even gas it up the first time. Eliminates a lot of headaches.

Cphil, you mean the lube that comes w/ shockers and impulses right? The grease I use from my job lets me take some when I need it, but they don't really like me using it b/c it is very expensive! The stuff works really great though. The grease is actually designed to repel dirt and dust and does very well at doing so. The down side to my grease is that it is not readily available and costs someting like $75 for an 8 oz. canister of it.
