Missing Storm 750 Valve Activator

Post by chaosfox97 » Thu Jul 22, 2010 7:00 pm

Hi, I have a Storm 750 but it stopped firing. I opened it up and the part connected to the trigger that goes back activating a push valve, which fires the gun, is broken. Here is a picture of it from a Storm 800, it's a different model, but most of the parts seem the same. The part is pointed at by an arrow, but it's underneath one of the tubes.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to make a makeshift version of this or has a broken storm gun with this part that they're willing to give me the trigger valve activator.

Can you not simply superglue the part together? Perhaps add some thin strips of metal on one or both sides of the join for extra strength.

As explained here. ;)

I hope you can get this piece fixed, as Storm guns are pretty precious.

Yeah, too bad I figured that out after I opened it, cut the light wires, and accidentally break the trigger valve. Could've had a V8 *bonk*

Well it's been a while, but I've now fixed it. What I did was replace the rubber tube from the valve to the nozzle, cut a hole in the case so I can pull the valve manually, and...
lose the case... I'm pretty sure one of my parents threw it away...
But still with out the case it seems to work pretty well, though parts have come lose a couple of times. I hope to post pictures soon.
