Converts RN46 roofing nailer into a vinyl siding nailer.

roofing nailer not advancing nails.?

I have a bostitch n45b roofing nailer and it will not advance nails. It will shoot one nail but won’t advance the next one into the firing position. Have to open the gun up and move the nails and shoot again and same thing. What might be causing this problem? I’m not sure how the pawl works so don’t know what to look at. I tried searching on the web because I thought this might be a common problem but didn’t find much. Thanks for any help you might be able to share on why the nails aren’t advancing.
As already mentioned I tried cleaning the gun. The air compressor is fine, has moisture filter and also has plenty of pressure. Pretty sure something is wrong with the gun itself.
I tried different nails and cleaning the gun and checked the air pressure. Pretty sure it is something more than the simple things that people with any common sense would check before asking a question. Thanks for the ideas but I already checked those, thought maybe someone on here knew something about nailers and could provide some advice on which parts to look at.
