Well Evil bay finally bit me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I've had a pretty good run.
Purchased a used Wurth Seam Sealer Spray Gun advertised in good working condition. Received -- not so much! I should have spotted the missing air valve push rod in the ad photos but apparently I didn't look close enough due to the good working order statement. Shame on me. I can return it since seller has a return policy but I need one and this one really should be fixable in my opinion. The air valve trigger is missing some parts inclusive of the push rod. I've visited the Wurth web site . . . no info. There are a few replacement parts shown like O-rings and nozzles. No info on a complete gun rebuild kit which surprises me on a tool that retails for $350.00. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Every other high quality spray gun I have I can buy rebuilds for the seals, needles, etc. No exploded view of parts. I'll call Wurth on Monday . . . not expecting much there as customer service seems to be a lost art these days. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. Wondering if anyone else has one of these Wurth Sealer guns and what you've done for replacement parts. Would also be completely awesome if someone has a gun that you might care to disassemble the air trigger valve. I know I can easily make the pushrod but I'm not sure what else goes in front of the plastic part with the spring. Gun leaks air with only the spring and plastic valve looking part installed making me think I'm missing more than just the pushrod. May very well send back for refund but would rather fix it if possible. |

No luck with Wurth Corporate. They were very nice but, no replacement parts for the air trigger and no gun rebuild of any sort other than the parts listed in the catalog. The guy on the phone also looked into some sort of gun rebuild program that they might have then but said it is only for the DBS tools upon further checking.
Thanks for all the help guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) The eBay seller is offering to cancel the sale so I think I'm going to probably go the route of a new gun. I like the rental option but I don't think my schedule will work around paint shops. I'll check into it a bit to see what is possible. In my area paint shops keep bankers hours. Typically they are only open when I"m at work and it will probably kill me trying to work around the logistics of pick up gun, do work on car that I need to do and then return the gun. I'm a cheap SOB but all that coordination and running back and forth will drive me crazy - have to put a price on my time. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) buy it new, keep it in good shape and sell it when you are done. You will get at least half your money back and it will be on your own time. |
