Cps 3000 help

[shotgunn240]

Hello. I just bought a CPS 3000 that is broken and need some help fixing it. The connector on the hose is broken off and I don't have it so I was wondering if anyone had an Idea on how to fix this.

Yes I do, Buy some "water wield" and use it to glue the tubing connector to the gun permanently.

I thought about that but wouldn't the water start to leak inside the gun when I start pumping?

open the gun and remove that clamp thingy on the hose and shove the hose into the intake tube on the pump. If it s too small just wrap some electrical tape around the end and use epoxy to hold it in even if it does fit.

Yeah, I messed around trying to make the twist lock thing work for weeks. Having a friction fit (by pushing the bare hose in) seems to work just as well, but it is so much simpler. Glue can be unnecessary. If you like, you can attach a ball valve and another piece of tube (I did this for my homemade CPS 3000 backpack) then you can still remove and fill with the backpack alone. I have some pics...

I'd say either go with a twist fitting as above, or find a threaded pipe adaptor and use garden hose connectors. You could permanently bond the backpack tubing to the pipework inside the blaster, but the connection will probably break at some point and it makes emptying and storage more difficult.
