Gentlemen,
I tried a search for “gun leaking air” and could not get my answer so here goes. I have the Eastwood Concours spray gun and like it quite a bit. After using it for over a year it started hissing air when the needle was closed. I just installed a rebuild kit in it which included a new needle fluid set. It still is leaking/hissing air evidently back through the plastic packer and spring that the needle passes through.
My question is, do any of you use a spray gun that hisses when the trigger is released? I do not think it will affect the fan pattern or spraying characteristics any but just bugs me. I used emery cloth and fine steel wool to make sure the needle was smooth as there was a very slight step about where the needle goes through the packer.
