I have not performed the Liquitron mod (cx proved it doesn't do anything, and it's kind of useful in that it shows you if you have any air left or not) or plugged the pump. When I try to pump it, I get a lot of resistance and the pump is shoved back out about halfway when I let go of it.
Here's 3 pictures of the pump tube. If you can't tell, there's the normal stuff, that clear crap, and some black crap from when I heated the wire.

Edit: Can't seem to get these terms straight. I don't mean the over pressure release valve, but the rubber gasket thing at the back of the shaft that only alows air to go through one way, what ever that is called.

There is a membrane in the back of the pump that allows air to go in but not out, I can't remember the exact term for this right now (It's not check valve). That could be the problem, it could also be the pump arm itself. As stated before, please provide more information so we're not just guessing.

It worked before I opened it up. I have not performed the Liquitron mod (cx proved it doesn't do anything, and it's kind of useful in that it shows you if you have any air left or not) or plugged the pump. When I try to pump it, I get a lot of resistance and the pump is shoved back out about halfway when I let go of it. It doesn't make much noise. I can hear the pump when I pump it in, and when it shoves itself out it makes a noise. It's really hard to explain. If I pump it once, hold the pump down so it doesn't pop back out, and pull the rod thing (the thing you put the piece of the BIC pen on when you do the BIC pen mod) it shoots a bit of air, about as much as would come out on a single pump I'm guessing.

I once had a sort of similar problem with leakage from my messy At2k. I found that there was a leak coming out of my pump tube, but i glued it up and it was fine. It shoots just as well, maybe better now. And no, the water won't damage it, but when you fire, a bit of moisture may come out, but it looks damn cool, like CO2.So there's nothing I can do? Will submerging it in water damage the pump/pump tube?

So there's nothing I can do?
You've got a shot rubber gasket (check valve). If the rubber piece (check valve) at the back of the tube still looks to be in place, try spraying some silcone spray down there. It's fixed more than one bad pump (check valve) for me.
