Question XP-70 Repairs Needed!

My XP-70 has a problem I believe, it is always leaking and when I pump it a lot the jet only goes for maybe 5 seconds, do you think there is a problem? If so, could you please help out on this?

Thanks,

JorD

Read that^ topic.
Open up the gun (assuming you know how to) and use some kind of glue or (preferably) epoxy to seal any leaks you find in the gun.

I think you have some cracks (leaks) in your gun around the pump shaft.

You could also try slowly pumping and shooting the soaker while it is open to find out where the leaks are. Recently, joannaardway mentioned putting the soaker underwater and pumping air through the system to let the bubbles identify the problem.

Remember: The soaker needs to be pumped OUT of the water... But that was obvious.

Leaks are easy to find, harder to fix - I tried pretty much everything on my old XP 110, but to no avail. I eventually bought a "new" one.
