XP 240 valve stuck open
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2011 1:32 am
I just uncovered my old XP 240. It has a black body, formerly red reservoir (now pink and white), and orange detailing. I remember a log time ago that I stopped using this blaster because the valve was stuck open, and whenever I pumped it automatically fired. I can freely move the trigger, but it has no effect.
Now, the main hurdle, I think, is to get it open. Prying with a screwdriver damages the piece, and I want to keep the pump cap and nozzle in a good condition. As for the discoloration, I'll probably paint the reservoir blue. Do I need to use Krylon Fusion or can I just use regular Krylon? I just ran out of black fusion, and I don't feel like getting my parents to buy another one.
