badger 150 problem
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, March 4, 2004 2:46 PM
Im pretty new to using an AB, I have a badger 150. My question is when I push down on the trigger for air flow should paint come out? Im not sure it is supposed to. maybe I assembled it wrong or something but when I do push down for airflow paint comes out in a myst, and when I draw back on the trigger there is not a dramatic difference in paint flow from when I just push down for air. I hope this makes sense, any help will be really appreciated.

It seems to me that you may have the adjusting screw too far in. You should not get any paint when you push down on the trigger.

Stir not the bitterness in the cup I have mixed for myself!

It is really up to you on how to set it. Fill up a cup with water instead of paint and push down on the trigger, while you're pushing down on the trigger move the screw forward(unscrew) until no water is being sprayed. That should solve your issue. Just remember to only push down for air and not back for paint.
