wurth pump up sprayer not spraying ?

[steveo3002]

thought i would spend the extra on a wurth pump up sprayer , not used anything caustic in it and no longer working well , i get a fine jet of water at an angle from the end , much like you get from a pin hole

any ideas please i know many people use these for brake cleaner etc

Has something clogged the jet

Everything comes apart quite easily. It sounds like you have a foreign object in the nozzle.

It's easily done - I'm always extra careful to blow everything off before removing the pump (and put the pump down somewhere clean) when decanting brake cleaner now as there are always bits of grit and crap on top of the tin if not. It's worst when it holds the valve slightly open and it slowly dumps the contents over the bench overnight and the only witness is an empty sprayer and a clean spot after the brake cleaner's all evaporated.

You can get replacement seal kits for them, if you're struggling speak to the man at Silverstone Factors, he imports his own version of them with better seals.

I put a chainsaw fuel filter on/in mine....no more probs...

had it apart a few times , getting a little more flow now , jet still kicks off to one side and changes as you rotate the nozzle

anyone seen any spares for sale , i see mention of of them but not seeing anything actually for sale in the uk

Worth uk have them listed but seems you have to buy 5 at a time and no price unless you log in.
I bought a seal set on eBay when mine was playing up but only needed to add a bit of sewing machine oil to the pump stem as indicated on the collar
