Super Soaker Monster X (2002) repair
Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 6:27 pm
Hi Guys,
I hope someone will be able to help me fix this problem.
1.) When I pump my Super Soaker Monster X (2002) water flows back to the reservoir when a certain amount of pressure is reached (2 or 3 pumps)
2.) I think the return valve close to the nozzle/firing valve is broken.
3.) I disassembled the gun as far as I could and checked the workings by blowing trough the end where the pressure chamber is and closing the inlets.
Air escapes, when i close the trigger manually by applying pressure with my fingers, no air escapes.
When reconnecting all plumbing, not closing up the gun, I can see water returning to the reservoir after 2-3 pumps. In this case I have not enough hands to try applying pressure to the firing/return valve.
4.) I believe the gun to be 8 years old..)
5.) I think replacing the trigger/return valve will fix the problem, this could be a spring or a seal.
Unfortunately that part of the gun is glued together.
Any tips to undo the glue safely would be helpful.
6.) See the high res images included (3Mb each), which is a step by step to an exploded view, any other steps require to undo glued parts.
See the white part next to the nozzle on IMG_4004.JPG.
7.) Super Soaker Monster X (2002) by Larami, item number 9982-0.
It also has Super Soaker 3022 printed on it.
I have enjoyed the gun for many years and as summer is approaching I need some serious power to defend me against my 6 sons.
It is a shame these kind of serious guns are no longer available.
Regards,
Edwin
