Problem solved

Recommended Posts

A while back I had been having trouble with my Badger 200 and 200nh airbrushes. (3 total) The problem was a systematic spitting of air. It was constant and speed of the pulses depended on how much air pressure was applied. I saw a video on you tube that helped me solve the problem. They stated that the packing around the needle was letting air bypass. I removed the needle, disassembled the airbrushes, took a drill bit that fit the situation and applied pressure with the blunt end of the drill bit. I reinstalled everything and now all three are working fine. No more pulsing. Maybe this will help some of you.

The packing material in airbrushes varies according to brand, model, and age of manufacture.   It might be fiber, rubber, plastic or teflon and may be sensitive to various solvents, etc. so what works with one brush may not work with another.  It's worth reading the instructions to learn what cleaning procedures are recommended so you don't damage it and if you need to replace one, opt for teflon if available.
