    What if the sprayer was clogged so we took the intake hose off at the throat seal, now liquid is spraying out of the throat seal

    For my spraytech the 2 packings or black plastic o rings on the bottom of the piston keep coming off the piston that means they're worn off correct?

    How do you know your rod is worn out by looking at it I've got a speeflo 6900 I'm going to take it all apart and check it out. The rod looks smooth no scarring.

    Hi, brand new to airless paint spraying, bought a cheap spayer! When using i lose all pressure, press trigger get nothing, does initially work for about a minute. hand tightening the tip and tip guide onto the gun, i get paint coming out between tip and gun thread. If i lightly tighten with spanner i get no pressure. If i get it to a position where it will spray, it lasts for about a minute, loses all pressure in the trigger and won't spray. The tip guard becomes so tight the tip won't turn to to unblock. I replaced the tip guide and Tip from original that came with the gun to the Graco FFLP 310, but still have same issue. I am thinking of buying a new gun. Could this be the issue? Appreciate any help#, thanks

    Good info! I have a 395 seems to build pressure fine. What I did notice was sometimes towards the end of the pressure build, lets say the pump is set to medium and I just placed the gun down...so not spraying for a minute, the pump moves up and down, slows to reach its pressure, but notice the motor rotates backwards a little. Is that normal?

    Is not normal, means you have a pressure leak somewhere in the system. Very common place is the inlet ball on the lower part of the pump inside the cup. Clean it very well and inspect the ball seat which looks like a washer, it should be perfect with no pitting or damage, you can flip it so you use the best side.

    My KRAUSE & BECKER (harbor freight) pump starts to slow with as does the pressure and output when doing a large wall. Give it a few minute rest then its ok for a little bit then repeats... is it overheating from paint too thick?

    My guess, you said the wall is large, probably your sprayer is not big enough. To do big project you need big machine. With small sprayer use smaller tips like 313, not bigger than 415. But it will take longer time to finish the job. I have Graco 490 for good size jobs and two X5s for small indoor job.

    My airless PT2500 works great but the only thing I am noticing is that that motor never shuts down even when primed. I’m afraid I’m going to blow up the motor. I can’t figure out what I should do?

    When you prime it never stops. That’s normal because prime is not building pressure. After all the air bubbles out, turn the switch spray position and wait until pressure builds and then it will stop.

    Turn the motor switch on momentarily so that piston position changed to your desired position.

    I have a strange problem here. Purchased one used and when using it i would work fine for say 10 min then I'll get a streak (10 seconds) of inconsistent pattern then it just stop sending out paint... If I reverse the metal thing that is on the tip (sorry don't know the name), press the trigger the paint will spray out, I would then turn back the metal til in correct position and this will allow consistent paint pattern until I have to redo again. Reversing the tip is just an easy way... I could remove the tip and place it back inside. It's almost like something blocked it but this shouldn't be since the strainer is there to prevent that. I did thin the paint just a little. I'm using Graco x5.

    Your not using enough pressure or the sprayer doesnt have a high enough pressure for the paint your using you can increase the pressure in the unit try thinning material a bit or if using fine finish tips go with standard airless tips
