Max D 6000 problems

Post by Maverick27 » Wed Oct 01, 2008 6:28 am

Hey I am having some problems with my Max D 6000

1st the gun wouldn't shoot when pressurized so i took apart the gun to see what was wrong but no solutions where working.

2nd a leak started but i patched it up.

3rd which i cannot now fix, when I pump the gun it starts to leak from the nozzle and the pressure keeps building up. The trigger is also not releasing any pressure and the water just drips out of the gun. I have gone over the repair tips and tried to fix it but i am having no luck and ideas on how i can fix it.

1 and 3 are probably both faults in the trigger valve mechanism. That's very common with the Max-D line.

The little arm attached to the ball valve is probably broken. Is the trigger still clicking loudly when you pull it? If not, that's probably what happened.

If you could explain what was wrong and how you fixed it I'm sure it'd help someone with the same problem in the future. ;)
