Sounds like something has gone south inside, maybe a seal or blockage or ?? If you can't get a wet coat I'd suspect the mixture circuit. I've been using mine for years and it still works great.
I know, probably not much help

It went from being a great sprayer to crap in a week. I was spraying nitro with color tone dyes. Can’t put down a wet coat. Anybody know why? Mike |

Can’t believe a blocked air hole stole a whole day. Lesson learned. |

It happens to all of us sometimes. |

I use the cut off end of a guitar string to clear the air hole periodically. I twist a loop in it so I can hang it somewhere handy (sometimes on the gun). If I was more fastidious about my spray equipment it might not be necessary. |

I use the 3M PPS system so it's not an issue for me. The bladder that holds the finish collapses as you use it. |

PPS is the way to go! Dave |
