Got a good deal on ebay for 2 CPS2500. Now I got 3. But one of them has a nozzle problem.After I pump, some water and pressure starts slowly coming out of the nozzle even though I have not pulled the trigger yet. It still shoots perfectly, but still, I would have to shoot emidetly after I fully pumped it up. Anyone know what the problem might be?

My CPS 15000 (yes it was K modded) has that problem too! but it doesn't shoot at all. It's the Trigger Valve.

Regarding the subject; I have no anwser.
I don't check this forum anymore.

I believe I know exactly what problem you have. I have been trying to repair with a friend a CPS 2500 with the same problem. I've taken some pictures, I'll try and get a repair guide out sometime. I did start a thread on this problem some time back... <_<

BTW, Racer was right - it is the Trigger valve. Pictures will make it more apparent.

Yes this is a fairly simple repair, you will just need to extend the trigger a bit. It can be done several ways, I have a few in the Trigger Repair article. Note that you don't have to reinforce the trigger, just move it forward a bit so it will close the valve.

The problem with this CPS 2500 was not the trigger not extending far enough: it was that the rubber seal had come off, and so the plastic was not making a good seal. Should be easier to understand when I upload the pictures...
