Hello
Ready to shoot topcoat (midweek) but i do not trust my gun. The needle appears to be sticking and not returning fully sometimes after releasing trigger so dont want to try on gloss.
So.....if anyone got a decent gun near WA33SA, who is generouse enough to loan me for few days, I'd be very greatful.

If no takers, I might try swaping needle& cap from another gun (same gun but 1.7 set-up) to see if any better.
This is my first paint job and dont want to mes-up.

Thanks
scott

sounds like the packing around the needle is to tight.put the smallest dab of oil on it where it goes into the body.or loosen it of a nat.

Thats correct jaykay
I thought about getting a little w&d paper round the needle and polish with shoelace method.

dont use wd 40.use airtool oil.if stuck i have used clean engine oil.
you can try w/dry, but very fine or you'll make the grip worse.if anything it wants to be polished.

cleaned out again and polished needle with some 1200 w&d and put a drop of oil on needle where it goes into gun. Seems a lot better but proof will be seen when using next time.
