Smokless Owl Firing Button Fix

[thetrucker]

I have had a lot of mis fires on my Smokless Owl 25.00 squonker and had to press down extra hard

and sometimes side ways to get it to fire.

I just done some contact cleaning and scraping on the Smokless Owl Button.

I took my wifes Emory board finger nail file thingy and depressed the firing button and held it depressed and rubbed it

across the firing pin and then took a small jewlers screwdriver and scratched it back and forth across the end of the pin and

did the same thing to botton ground pin.

I noticed some black color on the end of the firing pin before I started this cleaning process.

I gently took the screw driver and scratched back and forth across the positive and negative end of the battery just to

take any small film or oxidation from the ends just to make a better connection.

It seems to fire now just like it should with no MISFIRES---mod is now perfect !

Awesome fix! For 25 bucks I think this mod will be awesome.

A bit of no ox grease or the equivalent would help it to keep working better.

A bit of no ox grease or the equivalent would help it to keep working better.

I just googled the No Ox Grease and this sounds like the greatest idea----will pick up some soon.

Thanks for the great tip----it say's it is conductive and keeps contacts in good shape--

This thing is working like a Cadallac--No more standing on the button to get it to fire!!!

Clean contacts especially at low voltages are a wonderful thing.
