I recently purchased an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS double action airbrush. I did some practice rounds as recommended in the manual. Pressed down on the trigger to start the airflow, then pulled back to start the paint flow. Worked great. I cleaned the airbrush according to directions, then proceeded to paint some freight cars. Cleaned it again, but this time when I push down to start the airflow paint came out before pulling back on the trigger. Now it works like a single action. How do I get it back to double action?
Thanks for any ideas...

did you put the needle back in all the way after cleaning?
If the needle doent close the tip, paint will come out without pulling the trigger back ;-)

dont put the needle in with any force, lightly push it until it doesnt go in any further.

Thanks - that tip worked great. Appreciate your quick and accurate reply!

Glad I could help
