Airbrush issues.

[Kronicpainting]

Hi guys, I've had my airbrush for quiet sometime now, but I have currently run into a problem. I was cleaning my airbrush like I always do after long use, after doing so the next day when I went to use it I connected it to the hose and air just automatically started coming out of the airbrush without me having to push the trigger! I'm using the harder and steenbeck silverline 2 in 1 please help!!

Are you sure that you pushed the needle completely into the nozzle?
When you insert your needle back, slowly push it without any force to reach the nozzle, until it doesn't move. Never force on the needle.

Yeah I took everything out again.. I think it was the trigger was not sitting in properly. I fixed that issues but than, I put water threw it to see if it was spraying ok... I had some issues of it cutting in and out of spraying and not. I ran it for about 1 min... than put some orange paint into it semt ok.. will give it a good run tomorrow thanks for the help mate

You may have not had the trigger in quite right. (done that).

OR:

You may need a new air valve - the portion under the trigger that cuts the air on & off.
On some, you can actually undo it and see if the ball and spring are ok or have rust or gunk in them.
Others, just order a new air valve.
