Hi All

I have had some problem with my airbrush lately and decided to give it an overhaul. I took it apart in the main parts and cleaned it completely. I have assembled everything again according to instructions and doublechecked that everything is put togetner correctly.

When I tried to use the airbrush and strange thing occurred. The cleaning fluid I was using in stead of paint was boubling up in the paint cup. Everything seems to be working fine with good airflow, but the airbrush isn't taking in paint/cleaning fluid.

Has anyone experienced this problem before? Can anybody help me correct this problem?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

ps..........................Covering the tips with rag/towel causes air to "blowback" into bowl ----I use this to check pathway from cup to nozzle.

Thanks, I will double check the nozzles.

However, there is coming a lot of air out the front end through the nozzle. Can it still be blowback if a lot of air is coming through the nozzle?
