Hi Raven the needle slide at the rear of your airbrush when you press the air button then pull back the paint mix make sure the needle slides back I have one similar to this and sometimes it dosnt move when you pull the paint trigger back ,make sure its free.

regards pete

hi pete the needle is moving back and forth ok just feel like chucking it in the bin

If you think about what's happening.air blow back into the paint bottle,chamber.Ok that eliminates every part past the trigger assembly.The issue only happens when you push or slide the trigger assembly correct? The the problem has to be parts 3-6.Only parts that could block or restrict air passing over the passage to the paint chamber.Air should only move one direction,so what could cause that direction to change? Just my 2-cents, Blake

I'm not sure if this applies to your airbrush raven, but mine did a similar thing. I couldn't work it out until I took it apart and found the thread on the fluid nozzle had snapped and it wasn't being held in place. Air was being blown back into the paint cup.

Of course I don't have any spares, lol. Just when I was about apply the final camo colour....

I'd say take it all apart and check for any damage to parts, and the ruber seals.

Cheers,

hi blake i know what your saying i just cant get my head around it as im no expert with airbrushs all is fine till i screw on nozzle but its not blocked maybe i should throw it away and get a new one

chris

hi rik have checked everything seals threads all seem ok its only been used around 12-15 times and i always clean it, maybe i should go back to spray cans and brush
