So, I took the airbrush apart again and did another cleaning. The nozzle (the tiny piece) just looks "off". I'm having troube screwing it back on so I'm soaking it for a couple hours in Windex....it might be caked on paint that's hardened.
I hooked up the AB without the nozzle/needle and the head base and air had no problem going through.
Wondering now if the nozzle is buggered up.
So, yea....it's the nozzle. I think it's broken off. When I tried to tighten it when I was cleaning it...I think I cracked it. It just will not screw in.
Time to order some parts.
