i have been professionally repairing power tools for more than 20 years 90% of the time on this particular nail gun the firing issue is caused by the trigger valve, the piston ring you replaced on the driver has nothing to do with the issue the gun was having, what i am politely trying to say is i just do not believe you are quite telling the truth here.

The author of this video has provided some bad information in regards to Porter Cable brad nailers. Porter Cable BN200B and BN200C nail guns are OIL-LESS. DO NOT put oil in them as it will plug the trigger head valve preventing the trigger from resetting. How do I know this? I oiled mine not knowing any better, but looking at the owners manual, It clearly states - "NOTE: These nailers are designed to be used without oil." I had to pull my trigger head valve out; blew compressed air through it to clean out it real good. Fixed my trigger problem. Hope this helps others.

The old O ring appeared to be in good shape, but I replaced it anyway. My problem seems to be the nylon ring in the head not being installed correctly. Now, I will try to get that part..
