discussion Infinity CR Plus Problem

[Gelnhausen3133]

Quick question for everyone,

Have just finished giving the airbrush a good clean but when I try to blow some airbrush cleaner through [or anything for that matter] I just get bubbles in the cup and nothing going through ?? I'm assuming this may have something to do with air flowing through but I'm certainly no expert on the matter. I have taken it apart and given it another clean out [more so with the small opening in the nozzle where the air comes through, but nothing seems to help. Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something here as no matter what I do I can't seem to solve this problem. has anyone else come across this and maybe has a solution ? Any help greatly appreciated.

It could be the o-ring on the nozzle needs replacing, I seem to recall having a similar problem once.
You can get dedicated H&S parts but I replaced mine with a generic rubber o-ring of the correct size and it cured the problem.

Bubbles usually mean that air is escaping back passed the air cap seal. It maybe that the air cap needs tightening or as Geoff says the seal needs replacing.

Many thanks for the quick reply's guys,
I've just taken the seals out [I say seals as both my Infinity's seem to be suffering the same problem] which leads me to believe both seals may need replacing or maybe after cleaning I haven't put them back in tight enough. Many thanks again, I'll let you know how it goes.

Just to let you guys know, gave airbrush and all seals really good clean, replace everything [making sure everything was tight !]
and is now working fine ! I think the problem was as Jim R pointed out that a few things needed tightening up, It always feels like things are tight enough
and try to avoid overtightening but gave the cap and the nozzle an little extra and all seems well.

Many thanks again for your quick reply's.
