I modded an AT2K with basic mods about 2 months ago. All I did was a cpvc barrel replacement, and pump plug. I didn't use it for awhile, and recently i picked it up and tried to pump it. But when I pump it, the air escapes out the pump, instead of storing in the tank. I've tried fast pumps, slow pumps, and I even took it apart to check the internals, and oiled up the pump. but nothing works. I need help on diagnosing the problem.
Any suggestions?

It sound like you have a leak in the vinyl tubing. Hold it under water and see if any bubbles come out. If they do, I would E-tape around the area of were they came out, this being the simple, easy, less effective way to do it. If you really want to fix it good I would take out the vinyl tubing wear the leak is and bring to Home Depot or Lowe's and try to get the closest size to that AT2K tubing that you can find. Then I would get another size a little bit bigger and put the one you just bought inside that one. The bigger size might be a tight fit into the vinyl fitting on the AT2K, but you can get another fitting.

If that is not the problem that i think the problem is a leak in the front part of the air-tank, were the cap hold the air in, and when the trigger is pulled it releases the air. Sometimes there can be a hole in that. This can be from over pumping. This has happened to my Titan and BBBB. I don't really think you can fix that.

Sorry if this was a little confusing.
Hope I helped

I don't think its a leak, because when I push the pump, it creates more tension than usual, and its really difficult to pump it. And when I pull the pump back out, all the air just escapes through the pump.

Viynl tube leak? Hell no. Do you know anything about pumps?

Your check valve is ruined. Its not worth the time and trouble to fix it. Just buy a new pump, or use another.

Just wonderful. It was a good gun, and its rendered useless because I let it sit there.
Oh well.

If I were you, I'd hit up the local stores and try to find a new one: reason being that they aren't produced anymore, I know the Kohl's that is by me had some left (I bought all of them xD). They're such a great gun for anything it's almost a waste to just let them go.
