I also found one of the Wagner 505 sitting on the curb for trash. The primer knob was broke also. All you have to do is lift up on the prime knob with a pair of pliers. Or just tighten the locking hex screw on the knob. And it would have worked.
Hey mate. You will need an inlet and outlet valve. Put your head back on with the 4 head bolts, torque them up to 20 nM. with the head on and the inlet valve out, switch on the motor and adjust the pressure higher and lower, you'll be able to see the diaphragm through the inlet valve hole, add a few drops of water to make it easier to see the diaphragms movements. if the pressure does move the diaphragm replace your wear parts and you should be good to go, you will also need to replace the drain valve, thats the switch that is currently broken, it has a cam lobe in the handle which pulls it in and out. Good luck with it all
You can obtain a generic knob for the primer valve to suit the shaft diameter. Anticlockwise opens the valve to allow priming. The fact the knob has broken points to bad corrosion in this valve. Replace primer valve. It should prime once you have done that.
I have the 505 and I find I have to pour some water into the valve and tap it (to loosen the ball) and it will start the prime. I have to do that every time with mine. Specially since I only use it about once every 5 yrs. I do find after cleaning to run a bit of reduced down oil into the system for storing it. I need to keep reminding myself of that. I'm helping a friend paint a warehouse and got mine back going. Though, the sprayer is not really spraying correctly... think it's time for a replacement sprayer. Now to decide which one. Hard to find the original 505 sprayer now-days.
Those little pumps are the best but u gotta be so meticulous to the cleaning 😹😹👍🏾

Evidently this is your 1st time using one of these rigs
Did you get working
How much did you buy this for?
Put both hoses in the water and watch it pump
Replace your primer valve and your diaphragm, I have one just like it.
Did u ever figure it out
Sir price
Any luck? Just got one to
What was the issue
Ha just like mine! Nothing worked ! 😂😂
Brother if u put the priming hose in the water it would have pulled the water through. You did all that for nothing
