i picked up a max d 6000 from the dump a little while ago, it was broken (hence at the the dump).
the problem is that when I pump it the water just goes straight out the nozzle instead of pressurising. i know there is an article on this on the site but the info isn't detailed enough.
EDIT 1: 1 picture at: http://www.geocities.com/cps_xp/101_5803.JPG
EDIT2 :more info:when you pull back the trigger the black cord still moves, and so does the white thing attached to it (the valve)
EDIT3:a video: (don't think it works,(the video)) http://us.share.geocities.com/cps_xp/101_5806.MOV
EDIT4:i can manually reset the valve so i can use it, but without the case. went outside to test it, pumped it up, then it exploded on me... work to do.
EDIT5:found the broken peice, it was a spring! some help you guys are

Been awhile since I've been on here so I could be wrong...
As soon as I hear a problem with water spurting out what comes to mind is trigger valve. I imagine if water is coming out as you pump, only 2 possible things are happening. Either you have your finger on the trigger... Or more likely the trigger valve isn't closing. Max-D's in my opinion are always hard to fix when it comes to the trigger valve. Like always, find a spring or elastic whatever you can get your hands on. Attach the elastic or spring to make the trigger valve close into place and it should work good as new.
Hope I helped

You are very right, the trigger valve does not close (My Max-D 5000 had the same problem) all the way. If you do this repair, it works great, because it just tugs the valve a little bit further than it would normally go backStorm wrote:As soon as I hear a problem with water spurting out what comes to mind is trigger valve.
