CPS-2500 Problems

Post by Rhys Darklaser » Sat Sep 22, 2012 8:28 pm

When I pump up my CPS-2500 up to full, the meter that shows the pressure quickly goes to empty and at the same time, the area around the tank and trigger leak a lot. Anybody know the problem?

Possible that the Pressure Chamber is torn, and that's sad. You would have to replace it with LRT, or latex rubber tubing.

Firstly, Welcome to WWn forums!

It could be a ruptured PC (pressure chamber), it could be any number of leaky connections with bad seals, it could be a cracked or snapped component (don't worry, all of these ARE fixable). Without opening it up, there is little chance of finding out exactly what is wrong. If you do open it, chances are it will be immediately obvious, or at least easy enough to find.

There is a guide to PC replacement, assuming that is what it needs, here. The guide is for a CPS 2000, but it's essentially the same process (except you have to remove the nozzle selector to open it) as it's essentially the same blaster (shell and component wise [other than the aforementioned nozzle selector]). You have to open it to find exactly what the problem is anyway, and this guide will help with that.

It should be pretty obvious if the PC is ruptured. If you can't see any signs of rupture and can't see exactly what is wrong, carefully pump water through the blaster and check for leaks while it is open. As far as I can tell, the rate at which the leak is emptying the PC, suggests that it should be large enough to spot without needing to pump the blaster.

If you have any other questions, or need any additional help, feel free to ask!

The best thing to do is open it up and find where the leak is. Once you determine this, we can provide a solution.
