Artic Blast pump is being weird please help me fix?

Post by buckbi01 » Mon Jun 22, 2009 4:32 am

Ok so i have this gun which im not sure if it is an artic blast but it has a flash flood trigger thingy. Okay so i was using the pump very crazy and fast today and outta nowhere whenever i use the pump when i pull it in and out theres like no resistance at all and it wont shoot water no more.

I think the pump is the problem i know nothing about water guns but ill follow directions to fixing perfectly well.

Like theres no pressure or water being sucked up.

I'm not sure what you mean by "square looking slot." Can you clarify that or upload an image of the broken pieces?

This is the best article I can link to for now, but check out the others while you're at it.

I believe the square part is the pump rod itself; it has a square cross section. However, I still don't know what exactly is wrong, so, buckbi01, please upload some good pictures of the problem areas. It's always easier to see the problem and identify it.

The question they asked: "ehy help my water gun is brokne i think its a hydroblitz but im not sure and im too lazy to look it up the trigger wont work plz what can i do"

The answer they expect: "Open the water gun up like in this video of me opening the water gun. The problem is a dislodged connecting rod. All you have to do is reconnect it just like in this series of photos..."

As we've said a number of times, details, photos, and what you think the problem might be based on what you know are not only helpful, but often necessary. We aren't magic; the situation above should seem ridiculous because there obviously are a number of trigger problems, not enough information was provided, and we can't possibly make guides for every problem on every water gun. I hope you understand. ;)

I think the pump seal may have detatched from the pump itself, since that has explained the lack of pump resistance for one of my guns. However, it was for a pressurized reservoir gun, and the problem is much less likely to occur on pumps that push water instead of air. (like on the Arctic Blast) Take some pictures so we can make suggestions. And please, clean up your posting with proper grammar and punctualization so that they're easier to read.
