Badger 150 problems

Yep, I'm having similar problems with mine as well. I think some of my problem come with the needle sticking out so far and so it's very easy to bend. When it works, it does fine, however, my HF AB is better at shooting a fine line.

I have been using my Badger 150 for about 15 years, I like it so much I got a 100 as well. I just had this same problem right now. I had sprayed last night and only gave it a quick flush out, but clearly not enough. A proper clean of the head sorted it out. But, if its a new tip, then I can only think its the needle.

The only problems I ever have with mine are self inflicted, either not properly cleaned because I was rushing or the paint has bits in it.

I'm not sure which part you are talking about.  The front piece is what Badger calls a regulator.  Behind it is the head with a tiny nozzle that Badger calls a tip screwed into it.  Normally, you need both to get a spray.  If it used to spray, but now it doesn't, either there is some dried paint somewhere or something has been damaged or assembled wrong.  Each is possible, but dried paint is most likely.  Does the white Teflon gasket look OK?
