need some airbrush help

It sounds as if your needle is not fully seated.

Loosen the needle lock nut, withdraw the needle about a centimetre or so (or half an inch), gently but firmly (but not TOO hard) press the needle in, hold the needle in place and re-tighten the lock nut - should be a simple fix.

Agree with what Phil suggested. If it does not fix the problem, then you should check for bent needle or splitted nozzle.
