    Thanks for posting this. Just bought a 1620 and it pumps fine but I wanted to know just in case. Your video reinforced why cleaning these machines is absolutely essential.

    My Spray Tech pump wouldn't prime. Watched this video, took aprt my pump (piston), super cleaned, reassembled and Presto. Did not buy a repack kit or new piston. Justr super cleaning. My not even close to this bad but a little paint sticks everything up. Check balls a big deal, you have to hear them rattle. Thanks, Grandpa...I relate to your style.
