I replaced the viscus fluid recently and it slowed the rotation down a bit and I feel it works better so its worth buying the service kit.

Re: Warthog Rebuilds?
The 3/8" at least (the only size I have) is easily user rebuildable. I find the hp seal gives out most often. You can buy that and a brass seat cheap. The more extensive kit includes bearings, etc... Think it about $150. I oil mine at least weekly. Only reason to give up on them is when the body gets so worn down that the threads for the nozzle inserts in the sides start going away. Even then, just replace the body; still cheaper than a new nozzle and the new bodies come with carbide inserts.
So, yeah, scrap it. I'll give you $100 for it.
