Your needle packing screw needs to be tightened.
This. You could use an eyeglass screwdriver, flat head. Or, they make social needle packing screw tools. Tighten it like an eight to a quarter of a turn at a time until you get a little bit of friction when you pull back the trigger.
I have a Paasche Talon gravity feed with the #2 needle installed and about 35-40 psi. Using MM gray primer and Humbrol satin white and Humbrol satin black, all thinned 1 to 1, the paint backs up into the trigger/ air valve area. This has happened the last 3 times Ive used it. The gun seems to work fine except for the backing up issue. I have to completely take it apart to clean it, instead of the usual flushing.Any ideas? Thank you.
