Re: CPS 1500 - defect or normal behaviour?

Thx, I'll try to find a convenient o-ring. If I insert it, I'll tell how it works.

Re: CPS 1500 - defect or normal behaviour?

Yeah, that's what I was afraid it should look like normally. Still thinking about squeezing an o-ring in front of the mesh, though it could make things worse: cps1500.png It's painted with CorelDRAW. But unlike Paint it's a vector based software and sadly it's not freeware. Inkscape would be a free ...

Re: CPS 1500 - defect or normal behaviour?

It's 1 3/8" from the outside of the cap to the mesh. With the cap on, it's not quite easy to determine the distance you've measured. But it's about 3/8" too. However, since mine is loose and slanted it varies and can be actually 1/16" - 1/8" more. The part seems broken to me. I guess this is how it ...

Re: CPS 1500 - defect or normal behaviour?

Great! Thanks to the two of you for the pictures and infos! :D The lamination of a stream seems more complex than I thought, when I look at the experiments from Wayne Schmidt. However, I guess the loose screen is definetly a defect of my CPS. Still I'm not sure if it's really worth to fix it at the ...

Re: CPS 1500 - defect or normal behaviour?

Some water will inevitably get caught in the large casing around the selector, either during firing (as per your diagram) or even after firing as there will be some water left in the section of the barrel in front of the valve. Yap, I also think so. Especially because it's worse when I completely e...

Re: CPS 1500 - defect or normal behaviour?

Hmm... ok! Seems it's not that uncommon. I measured the amount of water drained from the nozzle today and it's about 0.85 fl.oz. (25 ml) per charge. Not much, but more than a few droplets. If you want to look at removing the nozzle cap, it can either be popped off, or unscrewed. CPS 1500 Repair Guid...

CPS 1500 - defect or normal behaviour?

Hi, I got a question about my CPS 1500. After each shot there's water dripping from that little hole on the bottom of the nozzle cap (see attachment). It has been that way since I bought this gun and it seems that this hole is designed to drain off water. However I was always wondering if this is a ...
