That was answer again from repairs at Badger
But you don't tighten it to the point where you can't tighten any further do you ?sometimes finger tight isn't enough ,i use plyers all the time but i have tin covers to protect from scuffing....only thing i can think of is maybe there is an O ring between head and not letting the head push tip sit properly.
the head pushes tip into the right spot ,if the tip is loose it might bubble back a little or pulsate
I use small pliers also, with a light touch. We have to remember we are working with brass and very fine thread. Can't just crank the crap outta it, but it must seat to 'seal. Maybe you got junk from scamazon. Did it have all paperwork? Something is amiss....
Every badger I've got has always worked right off the bat. When you get it back together, leave tip and nozzle off. Slide needle back into and set the tip on it and check the taper fit at base of tip and body of brush. They should mate nicely to seal. Then put air nozzle on making sure everything is still lined up. Then check your needle still spins and centered, tighten chuck. Then put air cap on. What pressure you running, crank it up to 60 and check it again.
that's what I thought too or mismatched head and tip nozzle set...not letting enough air to create vacuum.OK now this is an eliminate the obvious question... is your needle chucking nut (the thing behind the trigger) that holds the needle in place tight enough? Are you getting the needle moving back enough...?
It's getting down to that level of issue if everything else checks out.that's what I thought too or mismatched head and tip nozzle set...not letting enough air to create vacuum.
You need to make sure the rest of the assembly is on to try without the needle.Okay, so I have attached the picture that you requested. I guess I'm as sure as someone with my experience can be?
The needle chuck is as tight as i can make it and the needle retracts fully into the unit.
Removing the needle with water in the cup had no effect unfortunately.
