My Max-D 6000's trigger valve has given out. I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to fix it, but I cannot get it to close properly.
OK, so what's happening is, under a full-pressure shot, when the trigger is pulled the valve jams half-open and won't close. The trigger no longer has any input on whether the valve opens or closes, it simply jams half-open. Which is totally useless. Can anyone help me on how to repair this?

No, I haven't mistreated it in any way. I have worked out that over two-thirds pressure knocks the valve off and jams it half-open. I'll see what I can do about another ball valve.

Can't do that. If I put a rubber band in it, the band holds the mechanism forwards, closed, and at full trigger pull the valve can only open halfway. Anyone with any other ideas

Welcome to SSC.
That stuff doesn't work all the time. And you have to get it centered right.

It might only work on CPS valves too, possibly due to the size? I don't know.

This happened to my 21k. Look for the topic on soakthis.com
Blaze and Doom and a bunch of other people gave me horrible advice. Like replacing the spring. Putting a rubber band on, putting my F-ing finger over the nozzle and pressurizing it?...
You can't close it right?
Basically, what you have to do it get a new trigger valve from that pile of broken soakers. or from a soaker you never use.
If you have no trigger valves lieing around, you will need to replace it with a ball valve. I feel sorry for you, as this problem is very devistating, knowing there is no fix. Only replacement.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Bad advice. Do the small, less strenuos ideas first, and then if nothing else works do the replacement. I've done the rubber band thing to several soakers and its worked most of the time. The one exception was Dux's second 21k.

Dude, its not the same problem. I've had the problem your talking about. It happened before I joined the forums. I used a completely different method, but thats not important. These are two different problems. One is a problem outside the valve. (the spring er something) This is inside the valve (its broken unless you want to saw it open and take a look around)
Replacment is the easiest option. Dark Elite is welcome to saw open the valve, but I just recommend replacing it.

OK, thanks guys, but remember this problem is on a Max-D trigger valve, and it is VERY weak. Putting a rubber band on it in ANY possible configuration just jams it closed. Which is even worse. Holding my finger over the nozzle doesn't help, because at full pressure the valve opens only halfway. With a rubber band on the mechanism holding it closed, it just stays closed, even with a pitifully weak rubber band, at full trigger pull. What I really need is a way to replace it, but I have no idea how to do that.
Oh yeah, off topic, I have a CPS1500 a mate gave me to try and fix, the pump piston has snapped into two. I'll try to sort it out myself now, but if I can't see any way to fix it I'll ask you guys![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Buy a max-D 2000 and replace the trigger valves. depending on the setup (I Don't have a Max-D 6000) it should be possible.
About the CPS 1500. Thats so sad. A 1500 should never be out of action. Check out the tech section of soakthis and look for the pump reinforcment article in the modification section. Do the same thing, but do a internal epoxy job to the crack also.
Peace out B)

too right the 1500 is sad. That's the second of my mates who's destroyed a 1500. Read the topic I made on it and see if you can come up with anything. (CPS1500 Repair [Help!])
About the replacement, the MD2000's trigger valve would just break as well, maybe even faster as it would be designed for lower pressure. Plus, I have never EVER seen an MD2000 for sale, plus it'd be a waste of money. Maybe I'll rip the pump of my 6000 and use that in the busted 1500... They look about the same size...
