Fox shock pump

I bought a m8 snopro 153 last friday and my pump sucks it took about 15 min. of pumping just to get it from 100 to 125, it feels like it only pumps the last 1/2 inch of the stroke. anyone else ? maybe I should put a couple of drops of light oil in the plunger

Should take about 50 pumps to go from 100 to 125. When holding the pump, is your hand accidentally hitting the air release button?

also make sure you have no sled wt. on the shock you are pumping up

Good day, i also thought my new pump was screwed until i seen a guy on tv using one. Trick is lift rear of sled off of the ground and pump the pump as hard and fast as you can. Will only take a couple of seconds to get the pressure where you want it. Just went through this 2 days ago myself.;

at first I had to find a comfy position so not to hit the bleeder, then we lifted the weight off the sled, and finally I pumped like a banshee to get it up. its something that I dont want to do on the trail again. is there a aftermarket co2 thingy, that would be nice

Did you sled come with a pump? I just bought a brand new '08 and was told that they don't come with a pump.

Only Sno Pros with the front Float shocks come from the factory with air pumps.
