some one to service/mend Sheen X300 flame gun

Hi

As the title says can anyone service or mend my Sheen X300 flame gun?

What's up with it? The main problem is usually a failure to pressurise as the pump washer has failed.

Excuse my ignorance , where would the pump washer be? and do you know where I could get a replacement

It's in the pump - on the end of the rod where the black handle is here, where you pump it up to pressurise the tank.

I have got spares in Henry Burton years ago. I wonder if they are still readily available in these modern times, though..?

They're a fairly simple device. If they will pressurise, not leak and the jet isn't blocked, then they have little choice but to work properly..

Yes it looks like it's seen better days I will try to get a new one ?? Henry Burtons????

Worth a try, they might still keep them. Is it a failure to pressurise that it the problem?

Yes I cannot get it to pressurize above 10
Just going to look on Sheen website to se what size washer I would need

Mmmm, or possibly a leak somewhere - maybe the non-return valve at the base of the pump...?

Ah, right. I see that that might seem a strange place to suggest. I suggest them, because they would use the necessary cup washers in the old-style bicycle pumps. I got a genuine old-style leather one there, but it must be 15/20 years ago.

Take the old one or the pump tube with you, there are various sizes, if they're still available.
