Well, it's pushing as much air out as it's sucking in which, is a fair amount. When the piston is comming back, it creates a perfect seal. If I put my finger over the nozzle, the piston cannot move because it has no where to suck air in from. Upon examination of the nozzle and tappet plate, neither of those parts are actually moving by the looks of things.
Droc, when you say "making sure its timing is correct and that little sping that pulls it forward is still attached might be worth checking." I don't quite understand what you mean by this. I have a spring that pushes the tappet forward (and that part is attached properly) but as per the "timing" I must say that I'm completely lost. In regards to the gears, there's nothing to time provided that the piston is in the fully rested position. So, how and what do I go about timing?

Whilst trying to fix things, the gearbox snapped my tappet plate in two so I'm dead in the water for a little while. I'm ordering in a polycarb tappet plate so hopefully that will be a little bit more durable.
