Paint sprayer.
Flip lever down to prime > paint comes out small plastic hose.
Flip lever up to put pressure on spray line.
Problem:
prime keeps running and spray line never gets pressure.
Future solution:
You did not clean sprayer very well last time, or it is rusted. When cleaning, run full 5 gallons of cleaner through machine twice.
You should fill spray line and pump with kerosene if machine sits idle more than few days.
We all forget.
Good news: you have prime. If machine doesn't prime, you probably have to disassemble.
More good news: There are two steel balls inside pump.
Tap top one with hammer to loosen. Keep machine running. Keep lever up. Start tapping top one.
Tap a little harder... keep tapping ... sometimes it will not free up ... take apart pipe and see if you can nudge ball loose >> be careful not to scratch anything... the sprayer is high pressure and all parts have to fit
