- Let's prime this old airless paint sprayer. These are the steps I take to get this old painter running after 7 years with no use. I also show how to fill it up with hydraulic fluid (see amzn.to/34KWAfI for hydraulic fluid - must be non foaming light fluid)
Or if it's time for a new one, this one is great for DIY'ers: amzn.to/3zQ9C6U
If you need a full rebuild kit, here is the info for the specific sprayer from this video. Be sure to check your own model number to ensure fit before ordering one of these kits: amzn.to/3K4KD4A

Just this week my old pump stopped working. I had it quite a few years and did not want to replace it because it still works great. This was the only video I found which helped me fix the problem. I actually had air in the lines. So by reversing the intake tube and filling it with water and keeping my thumb on it the paint gun began working again. The funnel or turkey baster is not needed. Just pour the water directly into the tube. It's wide enough. Great video. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You're welcome! I'm glad this video helped you get your pump back up and running! Thanks so much for sharing your tip about pouring the water directly into the tube - that's a great hack and could be a real time-saver for others. Here's to many more successful painting projects! Best wishes!
Excellent presentation. My brother (a guy with more money than time) gave me his old sprayer. He used it once to spray the interior of his home and shelved it. Now, I have a clue on how to run the darn thing. Thank you.
Thank you! Congrats on the new/old sprayer! Glad this video helped. It's a finicky sprayer, but it works great once it gets going.
Thanks for the video. Used my father-in-laws sprayer and it wouldn't work. Followed your instructions and it works like a charm. So thanks again.
That's fantastic! I'm so happy to hear the video helped you get your father-in-law's sprayer working again. Thanks for sharing your experience!
My brother gave me the base model of this sprayer 10 years ago. It had lived under my work bench all that time. The legs were rusted and the blue plastic covering of the hose was brittle and flaking off but because of your instructions I decided to check out the old unit. I began with the fluid and to my surprise, it looked fresh out of the container. I exercised the chEck valve and the rest with good results. Long story short she was up to the task and I painted the bathroom in less than 15 minutes after the prep of course. Thanks to you.
Yes! That's an awesome story! Thanks for sharing! So cool that you were able to get it up and running and get your bathroom painted.
Thanks for the video! I was given this model and needed help.
Awesome! So glad it helped! We were given ours too! It's an old model, but when it gets going, it's super helpful.
Best luck with your painting projects!
This is exactly what I needed to get a used sprayer to finally prime correctly. Thanks!
Yes! That's awesome! So glad it worked for you
This made my day! Thank you! Finally we got it going!!
Yay! So glad you got it going! 😃
Thanks. I've got 2 old sprayers I'm trying to get working. You have given me a starting point.👍
Awesome! Good luck with those old sprayers! I hope they can give you some good service 😁

i have similar pump. it primes and put good pressure with water. primes with paint ok but does not give pressure. appreciate the tip for solution.
Thank you
Thank you! Thanks for being here
Thank you bro though just saved an Irish man up in Scandinavia 🍺
Yay! That's awesome! So glad it helped
Koo koo 4 coco puffs. Try primin it before all that. If you have to do that all the time get a graco. When done with a sprayer keep some thinner in pump and line and release pressure when stored. Next time it shud not need primin. Just let it catch up. Been sprayin 4 years. I kno my shit.
Hey boss... I have the smaller version of the same sprayer. The paint pro 440. Any idea where the filters are on them? If they have? Predicate ya! Video was helpful.
Hey! I don't know that sprayer as well, but this parts diagram might be helpful: www.ereplacementparts.com/campbell-hausfeld-series-airless-paint-sprayer-parts-c-32345_36924_177995.html
Thank you for posting this! I have the same sprayer and it works great with water but not very good with paint. I think I need to rebuild the pump. Do you have any tips for getting parts for such an old machine? (The previous owner gave it to me because of the pressure problem. I suspect it has dried paint inside...)
Hey! There are rebuilt kits out there like this which I totally plan on doing to mine: amzn.to/3GnwEEV
But first I would try:
#1 - thin your paint. Most of the time, you have to thin the paint to get it to work. Water-based paint takes water to thin, oil based takes paint thinner.
#2 - pop on a new washer at the paint connection. It's the same as a garden hose. Here are some: amzn.to/3ma7Qbm Yes, it's a multi pack, but it's cheap and they are perfect for your garden hoses, washing machine hoses, etc. Great to have a pack of these on hand.
Hope this helps!
I disassembled the machine and saw that there was indeed dried paint in the pump. It took a while to clean, but I think I got it. Thank you for the link to the rebuild kit. I still may need it... ;-)
@@biffbayberry8070 nice! It takes courage to open up an old paint sprayer 😁 I hope it works better for you now with that old paint gone
I am reviving my old Campbell Hausfeld airless sprayer. This video was a big help. I have only used it once before I loaned it to someone and they said it didn't work for them.have been abale to get it primed and spaying water thanks to your video, but the water spray is just not what I expected. It seems that before when i used it water and paint spray differently and when i used paint the spray was fine. Has this been your experience? I also want to clean the gun in the gun where the spring is and I will have to disassemble the spring paint chamber in the gun itself. Have you ever done this? Will a gun from a different manufacturer work with this sprayer?
Yes, you can totally use a paint gun from another manufacturer. I think that water should spray ok through the gun. I havent tried to rebuild a spray gun before, please let us know how it goes if you do.
Where to get the piston for this sprayer do you know a part number to search on eBay? I am thinking to buy one used.
Help, what can I do to get the little solenoid moving Minds stuck ??? Trying to make some money, after covid hit I lost my job so now I'm trying to do a side Hustle.
Hey, we have to push on ours with a finger to get it to unstick. If it's really stuck maybe with rust, maybe try spraying it with WD-40 and then wait about 15 min and try pushing on it again.
Where do you get your replacement parts from? Inlet outlet valves and primer? Thank you! Mine primes just doesn’t hold or spray with much pressure.
Depending on your model, you may be able to get a rebuild kit, here is an example: amzn.to/3GnwEEV
Or a new prime button: www.ereplacementparts.com/service-kit-prime-button-p-765101.html
Awesome
@@clickapro Thank you.
I have a sprayer like that but it loses pressure
Bummer it loses pressure. Might need to replace the gasket.
What do you advise me to do to repair it
I would probably try using a rebuild kit like this: amzn.to/3GnwEEV
Be sure to check your own model number to ensure fit before ordering one of these rebuild kits to make sure it will fit your sprayer.
