Paslode im 250 the fan goes on but it does not fire when depressed. I have tried a new gas cylinder

most probably a faulty firing pin, but I recommend you visit the attached link, it worked for me with my sporadic firing Im 250. Fixing Paslode gas framing gun that wont fire or fires intermittently

The primary cause of a Paslode not firing is from a dirty combustion chamber. Try cleaning it with Paslode cleaner and as long as you have good fuel, good spark, and the fan works, it should fire.

Yes, it is normal for the fan to run when the trigger is pulled. Does the fan start when you depress the nose?
If not, it most likely is a bent contact element, or a bad head switch.

Make sure that you dry the top of the motor housing and connections.Make sure that the piston is up as far as it can go.
When you depress the nose against the work the motor should run and if you look at the flashing light on the side it will stay constantly on and momentarily flash when you pull the trigger. If it goes red then check the battery is charged otherwise there coiuld be a fault with the motor.
Is the inlet Valve facing the correct way with the bottom of the "V" facing down into the machine.
Check the date of the gas, make sure it is not out of date.
Is the gas cold? warm the cylinder up by putting it in your trouser pocket for 10 min. Paslode make winter gas for these cold days.

I deal with more paslodes but think Its the same concept... Theres a button/switch on the trigger and back cap... the back cap one turns on the fan when the tool is depressed and the trigger one fires the spark to ignite the gas.
Seems like the one on the back cap at the rear of the cylinder is stuck on.... or theres a problem with the circuit board

no they don't, where do you get the spark from?? you can test this tool with the cylinder off by depressing the roller lever and holding the switch in the on position. If there is fire across the gap it should work and then I would look to make sure the safety is fully depressing. If this is the one with o rings you might want to check them for wear. Also look at the expiration date on the fuel cell, it is on the bottom and if expired could cause a problem.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about the Paslode nailers and the problems that can come up with them.

I also have a link to the Paslode manuals which contain Paslode cleaning and troubleshooting guides.

If you need parts for your Paslode, there also is a link for a site that sells the Paslode nailer parts.

I know this post is old, but nothing worked for me until I tried the following.

little plastic triangle pin that fuel cell tip plugs into was somehow plugged in to far. pull that out, plug in gently, retry nailer.

could be a couple things, first are there nails in the magazine, this tool has a stop when low on nails it won't fire, second is the lower probe bent not allowing full push on the cylinder to load gas. Give me the model number and I will find a print or you can go to Paslode.com and type in the model number and get an owners manual that has a trouble shooting guide in it for help. Let me know and if I have helped you with your question would you please rate this response accordingly.
