Spray Gun Problems and Their Solutions

[@fixitfixation5891]

Haha! What are the odds, I go on KZbin, grab the first video on spray gun problems, and the first thing you illustrate is my exact issue! Thanks for the vid I needed!

[@JKheller19]

Haha! Me too! I took it off and cleaned it but still seem too have this issue. But it's way better though

[@kevwills858]

Me too "Fluttering" But it took 5 previous videos that didnt address any problems or fixes.

[@nippychippy]

Best video I have found on gun issues. Thanks for taking the time to make it

[@mikethomas6408]

You bloody beauty. She was pulsing, you solved my problem. Good onya Mate

[@kiwi3511]

Thank you so much for your video, it fixed my issue straight away! no more fluttering. I only had it hand tight after first using my gun and the clean up, thanks mate.

[@ocendo1]

Thank you for your good work in comunity.Long live and prosper

[@willyisaac3955]

Great video my dude!! Just awesome thank you so much, even went in detail about fixes. Your the man!

[@sonnycoasta]

October 2022 and this video is still helpful. Thank you 👍🏽

[@gerryfaught8353]

Man this was helpful I was about to junk this clear gun.....Thank You

[@MrMechanicandy]

The hvlp gun I have that looks like this one wasn’t picking up enough paint but the vent tube was plugged and I realized something was wrong cause you unhook air hose and gun still has pressure enough to squirt out paint . Vent pipe at the 90 elbows was plugged I cleaned them will try again tomorrow

[@williamwixon]

Thank you so much!!! My gun was pulsing. I haven’t tried yet but I am praying that this will resolve the issue!! Goddamn urethane paint so expensive! I was praying there was an online video so that I didn’t have to spend hours and hours trying to figure it out on my own!

[@4myeyes925]

Do you have a fix for air coming out of the gun with out squeezing the trigger? And once the trigger is squeezed it stops the air flow??

[@marinvremes5702]

Thank you for sharing valuable information. I have a SATA 5500, used to make spray outs only at the moment ( not a painter yet, still in training). Since yesterday, it started something strange : with the trigger half way on, jut to blow air to dry the card, the air is going in to the paint cup ( 3M single use ), literally inflating the cup like a balloon. What can it be the cause of this issue?

[@svenphelps292]

Why is mine building up paint at the tip of the gun? Is it too much air? Is the fan too wide? I can’t ever get a good spray with these guns. Are you not supposed to use oil based paint with these? Everything I paint looks bad bc I can’t get a good spray. This video was helpful in other cases, but not with what I need. If my question could be answered that would be great

[@johnnytocino9313]

Great info. Thank you a thousand times over.

[@leeedwards7358]

He touched on some series points (awesome)!!!!! Keep up the the good work

[@killablooz]

Thanks for this. Sorted out my pulsing spray problem.

[@masterofpc11]

I've had a really really annoying weird problem, where the paint would come out in big blobs instead of a nice mist like expected. I've tried everything - air pressure lower/higher, fan adjustment tighter/bigger, adding thinner etc. but nothing would solve it. In the end, the small holes in the air cap on either side of the nozzle were plugged with old paint. After soaking in thinner and blowing out with 6 bars of compressed air, it works like a charm again. This wasn't mentioned in any of the troubleshooting videos, probably because it's so easy? So I'm leaving this here for others who might have the same problem... TL;DR when the gun doesn't work like it's supposed to, first thing is to really really clean it well including all the small holes.

[@sambodutch5433]

This helped me a lot today. Thanks.

[@Dragonclaw103]

My gun requires not to exceed 50 psi. I have my compressor set anywhere from 30 - 50 and I get nowhere the same air pressure that you are getting out of your gun. Could possibly my gauge be off?

[@blaiketillman3691]

Did you buy a new gauge or borrow one to see if yours might be inaccurate?

[@Dragonclaw103]

@@blaiketillman3691 I went back and looked up my model instructions. Where it said not to exceed 50psi.. it was referring to working pressure, as in the pressure reading as the gun is spraying, and not sitting pressure, or not spraying.. I made that adjustment and it is spraying well now.

[@aprilmarcha9587]

Thank you ! Got me up and going again !

[@LiloUkulele]

Problems solved! 2 thumbs up 👍

[@kenneth6731]

How does a gun like this stack up to modern guns like the HF black widow?

[@JesemanuelRamirez]

What if the nozzle is tight and it still stutter?

[@jamesthompson6269]

Same issue here i can't find no leaks yet still pulsing

[@슈퍼리치베어]

im korea painter . The tip to control paint amount is broken. this is my devilbiss luna. i think the screw line is worn out a little. please tells me how to repair this problem?

[@derekdickinson1]

great content listened to content but couldn't watch the video as the blurred picture drove me mad.

[@gregsantos9731]

Thank youvery much, this is very helpful 😊

[@theematrixhasyou1]

What about when you have dead spots/no paint within a wide fan pattern ?

[@SamFBM]

mine has a problem , i hook it up to air and theres air hissing out the tip without touching the trigger.

[@Martink9191]

My gun sprais droplets instead of fog... what causes that? I noticed airbubles in container also.

[@abtra]

I have a lvlp gun that has a stream of paint when I take my finger off the trigger. If I tighten the screw at the nozzle all the way right it doesn’t drip but I get a very small spray pattern.

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Most likely your fluid needle return spring is worn or your nozzle, needle are worn (more likely that the fluid needle return spring is worn though) Thanks

[@jamesfraser1340]

Stick a couple of small washers onto the back of the spring

[@Psychomantis619]

Honestly thank you.

[@shreejithaindrajith4493]

Great tips brother , helped me out

[@mrprecious1234]

Thanks for the tips.

[@1mcl476]

Thank you so much help a lot 🎉

[@VladanLukovic011]

Great video, thank you. Still I have strange problem not covered here: My Sagola paint gun worked well until one day just started to blow air into paint dish instead suckin it. Can anyone advise please? (Detail cleaning with dissasembling and assembling was already done). I can't figure out what is wrong.

[@abrahamjimenez1379]

i have the same problem and looking for a solution, did you found out what was it?

[@VladanLukovic011]

@@abrahamjimenez1379 Not really. I'm pretty sure that it is sealing issue, but I didn't found spare parts for this old model here in Serbia. Try to replace sealings if you can find them to buy. At the end i bought Italco HD2 advance and it works like charm.

[@keyikush]

I had the same problem too. I Opened all screw. And wrap all thread with white seal tape and put everythings back. make sure all screw are tightened

[@d477a5]

Thank you!

[@MimiFlores-p6c]

Anybody kmoes why My sprayer males a buzzing sound

[@SunShine-nh7yo]

Excellent, thanks

[@rustynuckles3662]

I was just spraying paint with a Sanborne siphon gun and went to clean it out for clear coat, now I have no flow. What causes that?

[@jermainemiglietti1244]

So helpful thanks mate!

[@deepahareesh9030]

How I solve Leak from back side of nozzle?

[@michaelcribb7205]

What about from the paint tube in the bottom that feeds the paint is not spraying all the way barely getting paint out of it and it's a bottom feed paint gun not an expensive one

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

If its a siphon feed and not siphoning then it's a air cap issue maybe its not tight enough maybe its not a good enough air cap for the paint to siphon these would be the most common reason

[@Don_Juan_69_420]

What if it won't spray at all

[@ar2276]

Good video thank you

[@PeterTheBuddha]

Tightened nozzle, stutter/sputter gone. Thank you!

[@vmaniac4789]

What should I do when there is no material flowing? I only get air instead.

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Hi you may need to remove the needle and clean it. You can also check if the needle is being pulled when you pull the trigger , it should be, finally you may have to small of a tip for your paint

[@vmaniac4789]

@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo alright i give it a try, thanks

[@Michigunner]

Sata minijet. No air at the cap. Does not atomize fluid. Has me stumped. Cleaned it can't figure out

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Don't know sata to well maybe a baffle missing behind the fluid nozzle or your air valve is not in tight

[@andrewsnider7889]

What is the problem when the gun does not pickup any paint or thinner in cup??

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Hi Andrew with a siphon feed (cup on bottom) this is usually due to your fluid nozzle not being tight enough, or it could be an air cap that doesn't siphon (pressure feed caps will not siphon)

[@deanflatt2035]

My spray gun is blowing air but no paint coming out

[@CleanCutt]

thank you ...

[@2-4outdooradventure53]

Thank you! I was about to throw this sprayer in the trash!

[@angelolivarez8692]

Lol me too

[@ericescalante5521]

Same here .lol

[@xiangruiairmachineryequipm3775]

Very good

[@jeremyspecce]

I'll give you a pass on the audio quality because you got my gun working again in like 5 minutes.

Bet he sleeps better now

[@realestateinfonet9041]

Great video! Thanks!

[@kevwills858]

Thanks 👍🇦🇺

[@heidel420]

"So if you have a plug in the cap, that''ll do that ... so we fixed that ..." Umm, I was hoping you'd show how you fixed it.

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Plug in an air cap use a small pick and dislodge it if that doesn't fix it may need a new air cap

Very informative

Quick Morty, get the spray gun!

[@RareParts3769]

Nice

[@brianburgess5909]

Get closer to the mic. Cannot hear.

[@LiloUkulele]

my tip keep clogging?????

[@codywebb9302]

Are you useing high quality paint and thining out your paint

[@ahmadnazir9943]

Hello

[@rong4189]

The reason your gun is spraying to the right is because there’s a piece of duct tape stuck to it. You’re welcome. Seriously though, this is a helpful video, thanks!

[@randomaccount4873]

Not spreying not...spill

[@mariodellatorre1299]

Dalle foto sembra eccezionale ma ci vorrebbe una prova pratica

[@randomaccount4873]

Air flow 10%....no section 0%

[@mastmec]

Stop talking while spraying, can’t hear you.

[@tucayojct416]

Get hearing aids.

[@TheShittyCyclists]

Bang on mate cheers 🖐this spray gun has has been driving me fuckin nuts👌😎👍
