    You need to be given some sort of national award for your videos. Extremely helpful for a novice like me. Mine wasn't priming....was able to open and sort it out. Thanks!!!!

    There’s one other important component that might be an issue too - the prime handle bolt. It also houses a small ball bearing in the GX21. If you unscrew this and clean it then it should be ok if everything else has failed. I only know this because I did EVERYTHING and it was the last resort. worked fine after this. Don’t overtighten when putting back on though - I think this was also part of the problem

    Cheers for the video mate, couldn’t get my 390 to prime earlier, turned out to be the bottom ball stuck. Quick clean up and the jobs a good ‘un👍

    Good explanation - excellent idea to have an animation display! I've got a Q-Tech p019 sprayer that gave me a bit of trouble - cleaning the ball valve at the bottom sorted it...!!

    Great info thanks! The standard filter in the GX units are tiny, didn’t realise that was worth a good clean out until my machine stopped priming lol

    • @SprayDirect
      @SprayDirect  Před 4 lety +1

      Pork Scratchings to be honest I take the GX filter out and just use a gun filter. As they are so small they are barely worth having 👍

    Thanks for the tip it worked, because I didn’t realize their was more than one ball bearing, piston bearing was stuck. Great video.

    @super_slo Před 2 lety +1

    How tight is the lower ball housing supposed to be - hand tight like yours was? Mine is on there TIGHT, like would need a big wrench or hammer to get it loose...
    This video is awesome and explained exactly what was going on with my 490 after a couple years in storage. Thanks!

    Before you go for the hammer(oldest trick in the book) sometimes plunging the pickup hose up and down does it. Flat paint flushes out of your pickup hose easiest. Other paints need more flushing to wash out. Then this won't happen as often.

    That happened to me on my 495 with hopper attached full of paint. Definitely not fun to disconnect the hopper full of paint.

    What do you do when it picks up air into the line because the paint got low?

  • @chillitrain9584
    @chillitrain9584 Před 2 lety

    I had my gun for few months and used it 3 times I was charged $330 to fix it wasn’t priming and he said there is 7 bearings in there and one was worn out so he changed the bearing , how can the bearing be warm out after 3 uses

    Hi Mate Thank you For the video.
    I need to trouble shoot a problem on my Wagner3.29 pro spray.
    It was okay before but now it turns 360 all way round when I try to switch from prime to spray. The machine Goes to spray mode when I don’t press the trigger but as soon I press the gun trigger it automatically goes to prime mode but still I can see some water from gun but no water comes the prime hose even when the Machine is in prime.
    Plz assist me.

    hitting the fins on the intake valve housing is fine to remove the housing from the fluid section but by no mean would you ever strike it head on. That's anything metal on metal 101

  • @Steelemusic
    @Steelemusic Před 2 lety

    what may be wrong with my pump?....it will not prime, and the motor seems to surge very fast, without priming....very fast...never heard it go that fast ever.....any comments?

    Titan won't prime..just joking...doesn't happen.

    • @bradleyhewitt9999
      @bradleyhewitt9999 Před 2 měsíci

      I used titans for about 12 years starting about 25 years ago. They do have a ball release valve now that helps a lot but not always but the titans I owned before that release valve looked like they were used for target practice on that ball housing because of how many times I had to hit it with a hammer. Eventually got smart and brought a rubber mallet to the jobs
