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! :cool:

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).

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?

Shes still going strong, and the screw inserted is not breaking the pvc (pump shaft), so all is goign well thusfar!

Thats good, it would suck if your repair lasted a day.

Wouldn't it help to also reinforce the pump at the back of the pump as well?

It would, but i chose not to since it did not need it.

I see. How much did this little surgery take out of your wallet?

It didnt cost me anything, I just found the spare parts around my workshop. I imagine you could buy the supplies for under $2.00-3.00 USD. (about $3-4 dollars Canadian.)
