You need a new trigger valve assembly, there is an o ring that has split. Contact Bostitch for a replacement part.

When i connect the air it sounds like all the air is escaping.

depends on where air is escaping from. If it is around the trigger then you need a new trigger valve (I have detailed instructions in the tip section on repair) If it is leaking thru the cap you have a pinch o ring or stuck firing valve. Let me know exactly where air is leaking and I will try to pinpoint the problem for you.

Porter Cable FN250B nailer won't nail. It makes a thunk when the trigger is pulled, and air escapes around the trigger. The piston does not move.It does not seem to be related to the saftey.

it sounds like there is a jammed nail in the nose/magazine or possibly a bent or broken driver. UNPLUG the air and remove the top cap carefully and see if the piston is twisted in the cylinder. Let me know and I will try and find you a breakdown for this tool

Must pull the trigger every time to shoot a nail, should be able to hold trigger and tap where i want the nail.

On some models the contact fire is not available. There is a flap that is under the actual trigger. When you press the safety in, it engages this little flap which allows the trigger to be engaged. As soon as the safety comes up this little flap falls back down disengaging the trigger.

There is an optional trigger assembly that you can put on this nailer. You need parts 174299 and 174300 to make this gun a contact nailer.

Pulling the trigger, air is released but nailer is not engaged

Try putting a few drops of light machine oil in the air inlet fitting. If this solves the problem, install an inline air lubricator.

Porter/Cable 15 gauge angle finish nailer

The driver assembly can sometimes get bent or the tip can get a little deformed causing it to hang up in the nose. Other than that, not much else it could be if you rebuilt the whole thing
