I have a 2001SS air gun with a 2-qt remote pot and hoses. I take very good care of it and always keep it clean. I spray Laquer with mainly and don't use all that much. I recently ran some pre-catalized laquer through it and thats when I noticed the trouble began. I took the gun completely apart and cleaned everything thoroughly with laquer thinner and then acitone but material still runs out the tip when the trigger is released. I did notice that what looked like some sort of packing might have been damaged. Everything else is metal. I need the gun so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
It is just either the packing or some other replaceable part, you can just go buy a kit for the gun at the automotive paint store, or let them fix it. Generally costs me about $50 plus the kits when I get them done here. Also make sure all the small passages are totally cleaned out. Hope this helps you, rick
That packing is important, im not familiar with your perticular gun but i would deff replace it. also check that your spring under the fluid adjustment knob is not shot. and make sure you adjustment is correct. also if you damaged the needle or the peice the needle mates with this problem will deff occur expecially in a pressure feed gun. you should have gotten an parts break down of the gun when you bought it. if not you can go to the manufacturer website and get one for that model gun. good luck.
