Track Pump Repair
I recently checked out this article in isoaker's Database, (Click here ) and I must say, it worked quite well. I was tired of my CPS 4100s breaking on me, so just a little tweaking to the triggers, and the pump, and they worked beautifully. What I did and what I found:
I started by taking the pump off the gun. The plastic rod pulling the pump piece snapped on me, and the supporter one at the bottom was doing great. I then took one half of the pump plastic, and drilled a new hole over top the screw hole. I then took both pieces and put them together. I then put the drill bit through the first hole down straight, and drilled a second hole. I then inserted the Large Screw thing into the pump and through the hole in the white rod, and rescrewed the pump back on. I then tightened it with a nut and wrench. I tested it out, and it was hard to pull back and forth on the pump. So I decided the issue was that the screw was too large. I got a thinner one along with a thinner hex nut, and basically redid the above steps. I found that with a smaller than usual Screw, my pump time was decreased by 3-4 pumps, and I got the same pressure. It was also glided very easily. So if you have a soaker in your garage, don’t be afraid to attempt this repair, it will work on other blasters besides the Cps 2000. Will post a pic ASAP!

Schweet! Thanks!
As an aside, you might consider shrinking the images slightly since I think people will be able to still see what you did in a cropped and/or shrunk image (just to save space).

Shes still going strong, and the screw inserted is not breaking the pvc (pump shaft), so all is goign well thusfar!Soakologist wrote:Looks like you did a solid job. It appears just like the original CPS 2000 repair on iSc. However, it appears that you just used a washer as opposed to the bolt on the 2000. How's the 4100 doing now after the repair?

I did the same thing with my CPS 2000, the one that was broken by my friend as illustrated in my submitted story - check it out.
