CVF 1-3-5

Post by Teh Moron » Wed Jul 11, 2007 10:38 pm

Recently I went and did a K-Mod on my CPS 1-3-5, and I can't get even 4 pumps in before the pr valve kicks in. I was wondering where the PRV was located on the CPS 1-3-5. Thanks. Apologies for not supplying a picture, but you can find one fairly easily on iSoaker.

The pressure release valve is located in the same location as the CPS 2100. Look at our check valve freezing page and perform the same procedure you would for the CPS 2100. ;)

I'll be going with the drill/epoxy method, although I dont have any right now. Would i just drill anywhere in between the lines, or is there a special place i would have to drill.

Also, would polyurethane glue (Gorilla glue) be able to take the job of epoxy?

Thanks,

Gorilla glue doesn't seal (at least from my experience). Also, how many balloons are you using?

And it might be a good idea to drill the main nozzle and block off the other 4. At least that's what I'd do. (if you prefer the 1-3-5 function, it's up to you)

And as to your question about where to drill, anywhere would be fine. Just make sure to hold the gun in a reservoir-up position until the glue dries.

You can just pull the extra nozzles off and seal the holes, they are held on by glue. Sadly, mine broke because I was too zealous about my modding, but I now know how the trigger valve works.

Image

1: Opens first valve, water rushes out, but is contained by O-rings and shoots only out the main nozzle.
3: Inner part of trigger valve slides back, and side holes line up with the first pair of nozzles.
5: 2nd stronger valve opens, sending water to the outer most nozzles.

It can be modefied to work well by drilling the walls by the side openings, but it would be a lot of work for a still weak gun.
