help me reassemble my brush, please
Posted by RotorRob60 on Saturday, June 10, 2006 9:06 PM
This is the second time I've put myself in this jam...

I disassembled my badger 100IL to the point that the trigger and back lever are out. I am having a hell of a time getting the back lever back inside the body sitting on the valve and with the tab up in the slot. Then, you get to put the trigger in and insert the needle. I have accomplished this task once before, however I can not recall how I did it. Any suggestions? Please? Thanks in advance.

If I had some'structions I'd read them, but this brush was given to me secondhand, so I figured I'd ask a question in lieu of printed material...

What are you having trouble with specifically?
Put the back lever down into the slot in the airbrush body, put the trigger in and then screw the tube shank assembly in from the back. Then insert the needle, tighten the needle shank and put the handle back on.

Why are you removing the back lever and all anyhow?
There is no reason to remove these parts normally.

I had paint spilled on & into the airbrush, so I stripped it as far as possible to clean( very much like an M16A1 or A2 back in the day). I have figured it out: I was trying to put the back lever on the air valve where the trigger belongs. I realized that the bottom of the back lever has to leverage against something in order to push back on the needle assembly. All is now well, thanks guys.
