My cps 1000 doesn't seem 2 be working right. It fires a powerful stream, and then suddenly stops. The water used to get closer and closer as the pressure ran out. Has anyone else had this problem? :bm1000:

CPS systems are supposed to fire fairly strongly and not trickle to a stop. Do you feel that there is lingering pressure in the firing chamber? Otherwise, a little more info on what you feel is wrong would help in diagnosing the problem.

well, the pressure runs out but it hasn't fired all the water in the chamber.

The way it sounds, seems like the elasticity of your soaker's CPS chamber is starting to give up and it no longer can collapse as much as it used to. Was it ever left pressurized for a long time (i.e. multiple days)? Quick question... are the holes on the side of the CPS chamber housing clear? If they've gotten clogged or sealed, it may partially explain the problem.

Anyhow, if it's not a hole issue, to verify what's going on, you'd need to open up your soaker and examine the CPS pressure chamber. You may be able to fix and even enhance your blaster's performance by performing a full K-mod on it, adding back elasticity by layering on balloons. Just depends on what things look like (any noticeable damage on the chamber, etc) and how much you want to try to resolve the problem. IF you do opt to open your blaster, pictures may help others to get a better idea of what's going on and what suggestions to give.
