Haha! What are the odds, I go on TH-cam, grab the first video on spray gun problems, and the first thing you illustrate is my exact issue! Thanks for the vid I needed!
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.
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.
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!
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
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 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.
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?
I think it's an issue with your fluid nozzle. Just under the air cap, hex nut where the needle goes through. Pull trigger and tighten it then release trigger. Or remove needle, tighten, install needle
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
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?
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.
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
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 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.
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
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
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
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)
Your video didn't help my problem at all. At first, my spray gun wouldn't spray anything at all. I removed the air valve from the rear of the gun and found it to be really rusty, even though I have kept my gun indoors for the entire 4 1/2 years that I've had it. I go to put the gun back together, and now, not only is are finally spraying through it, but it's doing it non-stop, even without the trigger being pulled. No matter what I do, I cannot stop the air from passing through, no matter what I did. Long story short, I drove to Home Depot to get another gun, and threw my old gun in the trash thinking that it was the gun that was garbage. I get home and hook up the new gun to my air compressor, only to find that the same issue is happening with this gun as well - air is passing through Non-Stop, and not allow me to control it with the trigger. WTF is the problem here?!...
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!
Haha! What are the odds, I go on TH-cam, grab the first video on spray gun problems, and the first thing you illustrate is my exact issue! Thanks for the vid I needed!
Haha! Me too! I took it off and cleaned it but still seem too have this issue. But it's way better though
Me too "Fluttering"
But it took 5 previous videos that didnt address any problems or fixes.
Best video I have found on gun issues. Thanks for taking the time to make it
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.
You bloody beauty. She was pulsing, you solved my problem. Good onya Mate
This is good. I'm going crazy after a few use of my spray gun. I need to have a repair kit.

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

How does a gun like this stack up to modern guns like the HF black widow?
October 2022 and this video is still helpful. Thank you 👍🏽
Great video my dude!! Just awesome thank you so much, even went in detail about fixes. Your the man!
Thank you for your good work in comunity.Long live and prosper
This helped me a lot today. Thanks.
He touched on some series points (awesome)!!!!! Keep up the the good work
Can't hear you talk while your spraying but what I could hear was informative
Thanks for this. Sorted out my pulsing spray problem.
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?
Did you buy a new gauge or borrow one to see if yours might be inaccurate?
@@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.
Thank you ! Got me up and going again !
Honestly thank you.

What if the nozzle is tight and it still stutter?
Same issue here i can't find no leaks yet still pulsing

How thick is your paint? Should be like chocolate milk. What pressure are you set at the inlet of gun?
What about when you have dead spots/no paint within a wide fan pattern ?
Great info. Thank you a thousand times over.

Stick a couple of small washers onto the back of the spring
Good video thank you
thank you ...
Thank youvery much, this is very helpful 😊
Great tips brother , helped me out
Excellent, thanks
Thank you so much help a lot 🎉

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

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
Problems solved! 2 thumbs up 👍
great content listened to content but couldn't watch the video as the blurred picture drove me mad.
Thanks for the tips.
mine has a problem , i hook it up to air and theres air hissing out the tip without touching the trigger.
How I solve Leak from back side of nozzle?
My gun sprais droplets instead of fog... what causes that? I noticed airbubles in container also.
So helpful thanks mate!
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?
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
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
Very good
What if it won't spray at all
Anybody kmoes why My sprayer males a buzzing sound
Thanks 👍🇦🇺
What should I do when there is no material flowing? I only get air instead.
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
@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo alright i give it a try, thanks
Tightened nozzle, stutter/sputter gone. Thank you!
Sata minijet. No air at the cap. Does not atomize fluid. Has me stumped. Cleaned it can't figure out
Don't know sata to well maybe a baffle missing behind the fluid nozzle or your air valve is not in tight
What is the problem when the gun does not pickup any paint or thinner in cup??
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)
My spray gun is blowing air but no paint coming out
Nice
Thank you! I was about to throw this sprayer in the trash!
Lol me too
Same here .lol
Very informative
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
Great video! Thanks!
Quick Morty, get the spray gun!
"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.
Plug in an air cap use a small pick and dislodge it if that doesn't fix it may need a new air cap
Y en español cuando o dónde lo puedo ver
Get closer to the mic. Cannot hear.
my tip keep clogging?????
Are you useing high quality paint and thining out your paint

Hello
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!
Dalle foto sembra eccezionale ma ci vorrebbe una prova pratica
Not spreying not...spill
Air flow 10%....no section 0%
Stop talking while spraying, can’t hear you.
Get hearing aids.
Bang on mate cheers 🖐this spray gun has has been driving me fuckin nuts👌😎👍
Excellent advice thanks.
