Badger Airbush help

The needle is most likely not seated properly. Loosen the needle chuck, push the needle forward until it just seats in the nozzle, and tighten the needle chuck. It's a common problem and an easy fix.

Thank you for the help! That was what was worng got it fixed right away.

Be carefull with that! MusicCity has the right fix, but I would suggest before pushing the needle forward that you run a fine wire inside the nozzle to free up any possible dried paint. I did this once and split the brass nozzle on my Badger years ago due to tiny pices of dried paint that was inside. After running the fine wire through the nozzle a couple of times I then (without the needle re-enserted yet) spray a color cup of laquer thinner through at 30 psi. Next I slowly re-insrt the needle until it stops, now fill the color cup with a bit more thinner and respray this to check if the needle is properly seated. If you press down and no thinner comes out until just start pulling back on the trigger, you've fixed the problem, if not, repeat the above. Doing it this way, you are cleaning the nozzle and paint passage as well as preventing inadvertant damage to the nozzle. This seems to be more prevelent when using acrylics. Hope this is usefull.
