Air in . . . no air out

Welcome to the Forum Stan

I would not only second what the other guys have told you but recommend you go even farther. I believe Paasche has a basic overhaul kit for your airbrush which contains all the o rings and seals for it and the instructions for replacing them. Your airbrush is old enough that the seal/rings have more than likely hardened, shrunk and/or cracked from age.

Give these folks a look:

www.bearair.com

Page A44 of their catalog (which is free) has a complete parts breakdown w/drawing for the Paasche H & HS airbrushes.

I also have the same issue with my badger... just needs a new O-ring.

Years ago I sent my Badger 200 for repair for just this problem and if I remember the fault was just an O ring as Giobosco suggests. If you don't wish to take it apart yourself send to a Paasche service agent I'm sure they would be only too pleased to help.

Hi there Stan,

I found this diagram for you: http://www.reuels.com/reuels/page494.html

If it was me (I have been taking things apart since I can remember just to see how they worked), that's what I'd do. Take it apart, give it a good clean (pipe cleaners and the like) with appropriate thinners, possibly get new "O" rings for a good seal and see how you go. I know, it becomes a sentimental thing...

All the best and regards
