UserID: 97 |  Personaly, I think my repair is easier than replacing the pump rod. But that's just me.

UserID: 94 | I agree with Blue. Get a metal or wooden (I'd use wood because it's lighter) dowel and bring your pump shaft with you to the hardware store. Find something that will fit in this "inner rod" of yours, then simply use epoxy to glue the pump shaft halves back together. This is much simpler and better than making a completely new pump. I did this to my friend's soaker with a broken pump and it worked great. If you can't find an exact fit, get a WOODEN dowel a bit bigger and just use sandpaper to make it thinner. You can't do this with metal. |

UserID: 129 | so then what your saying is the dowel will just act as stability for when its glued in, and then it can be left in there so that it doesn't snap as easy? :huh: |

UserID: 97 | exactly! It will probably make the pump better than it Originaly was. I would use metal. I have a metal dowl in every soaker I have with a pump. It doesn't weight enough to think about, and it is a big strength difference. If you can't find one that fits exactly in, get a smaller one, and hot glue it in place for stability wile you epoxy the pump shaft together.

UserID: 129 | oh ok, thats cool so then, another question that I Don't know yet you know the innter and outer layers of the pump shaft that ive explained about, you can see that there are two rods that make up the pump shaft in the pictures ive taken. does it matter if these two are guled together? if they were glued together would it effect the pumping? because something has to slide back and forth in order for you to pump :mellow: |

UserID: 97 | You are doing this to the shaft that slides in the larger shaft. I suggest any glue that works well on plastics, like epoxy or plastic welder. Make sure you sand before doing the gluing. Also, use as little as possible because the rod will hold it together good, and if you make the glue to large, it could make it hard to fit the pump into the shaft, or hard to pump. use your wits and you should be fine

"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, the old xp 270." So what? "I fixed my friends a wile back." If you did, why didn't you post how you repaired it? TK Maxx can be good, unfortunately they don't often have many soakers. I got a Max-D SS this year from my local one, it was about half the price they were in Toys R Us (minus the SoakerTags). Someone I know got an XP 110 from one.

UserID: 97 | They have something that sounds the same here. TJ Max. Its a discount clothing store. Hey, that's funny.. I just bought 2 XP310's. They are a great steal for the cost. I did a great resevoir(sp?) expansion to mine, that also adds a shoulder stock. Adds about 2 shots per tank. Tell me if you want it.
