Default Finish Sprayer Gun Problem

These past few days, I've had a chair to upholster and needed to
refinished the woodwork. I had the spraying problems with the first
spraying. Since Mike's reply, I cleaned the vent and gun-can gasket
and was able to finish the spraying with no problems.... very minimal
spitting/skipping of the spray stream.


Hey Sonny - glad to see the gun is working better. Just for ****s and
giggles, give the needle packing a little nudge before you tear your gun
down - just to see what happens. It may be hard to turn the adjustment nut
in due to crud build up on the threads and the packing being a bit boogered,
but it likely will turn in a bit. I'm curious to see if that fixes your
remaining spitting problems. If so, the gun still wants a good cleaning but
you may get by without having to buy a rebuild kit.
