Iwata HP A+ HELP

#1 Post by monkey5150 »

Hi All,

I am having a rough time with my HP-A+. It's been reliable for about three years but now I cannot seem to get normal pressure out of the AB. Paint and/or air just trickles out unless I jack it over 30 psi. I plug in a different AB and the pressure is fine.

So far I have:
1. replaced the air valve set
2. replaced the .2mm needle
3. Cursed at it
4. degreased it.

Any ideas????
thanks

Any chance of having response/info posted?
I have an HP A+ which is working fine, but any
info could be helpful in the future. Thanx

hope its been resolved...I had issues once with my HP-C+. same kind of deal. had to crank up the air...was getting uneven spray. turned out that even after multiple thorough cleanings...there was a slight build up of paint in the fluid nozzle. took it off...soaked it and cleaned it out and everything was back to normal.
