How To Fix An Airless Sprayer That Is Not Priming.
What happens here
After removing the hose, look up inside the lower fluid section. You should see a small ball. This ball must be able to move freely up and down for the sprayer to prime and spray paint correctly. Often, debris such as paint flakes, grass blades, or tiny sticks can get lodged between the ball and its seat, preventing proper sealing and movement. Use a small flathead screwdriver or needle-nose pliers to reach in, touch the ball, and dislodge or pull out any foreign material. This will allow the ball to seat and unseat properly.
Goal: Ensure the ball valve in the lower fluid section can move freely.
