I have 2 sharp innoavs
I think i is a mk1 as it has no safty and one is a mk2 as it does have a safety both are .22
the mk2 is a little weird you have to do the fist pump quite gently other wise it doesn't hold the air
with my mk1 you can bump fairly quickly and then the odd pump will not enter the chamber.
is this standard ?
If this is not can anyone tell me if this is an easy fix?

many thanks Steve
Try a tiny drop of gun oil like bisley in the cylinder where the pump rides up and down for the pump seal to prime itself, it may be bone dry. It has happened to me before bit I have taken the gun apart so many times that everytime I do it gets a service. Alternatively your pump head may need adjusting slightly longer as it may be too far apart from the valve as the arm is fully shut? If the drop of oil doesn't help, let me know and I will try and rally you through it.
