I have a similar model but everytime i try to run oil based primer threw it I end up clogged up. Any reason this unit would be different???

Seriously, if you use oil base you must flush system with spirits . I never run oil in my rig.

Its all about how you clean it after you do the job. Latex paints are easier to work with because they are water based.

Any oil based paints, primers or stains must be thinned. Your manufacturer or paint supplier can give you the specs. Hope this helps.

Im not sure if you found the answer to your question or if it got fixed, but in my case it was a clogged tip and line. Im thinking it maybe a clog in the line or tip. Also check the cylinder, it may need some grease work. hope this helped.

we have several of these pumps and although it is possible to draw some oil from a system during any 400 to 600 micron system we consider this the best pump we have used. The pump has oil, the system has oil so oil can be an issue. I suggest you review your hookup and operational process before going further. Also the longer the hoses the more oil can be extracted from the system during evacuation. Lesser CFM pumps never pull hard enough to be problematic. We never use more than a 7 cfm model because of this situation. You could have a problem. We suggest you speak with a Yellow Jacket factory rep. we have several of these pumps and although it is possible to draw some oil from a system during any 400 to 600 micron system we consider this the best pump we have used.

Carl G I would like to know why you needed an oil lubricated pump? Changing to wet rotor may be an issue because of the clearances...if it stops it might only a small particle...I once had some system "goo" hat stopped one...it took washing it out with diesel to get it back running. Both engineering submitals indicate the NRF22 is about 2GPM less than the LR20BF at 10ft head...so here's the thing...depending on what system youre installing it on...most systems were designed for 160f DHW or 180f HWH water so by putting this in (I dont know your system but I would do it) you'll have a slighting lower flow rate...in DHW who cares as its no big deal...BUT in a HWH system your control valves will open more and this is a seriously good thing in modulating valves. There will be a larger delta T so I'd also lower my boiler temperature by at least 20f assuming youve some form of condensing boiler...this will help ensure youre in condensing mode. Circulate fluid...not temperature and you'll save a lot of money. Make sure your side stream filter is clean and check it a few times in the first 1-2 months because the more flow means the more crud is likely to get back to your HEX...if there isnt one put a Y strainer in and add a "sock" on the screen for a month or 2). A possible problem is how many zones open/ resistance decreases across too many different circuits/ zones...too many and there wont be enough. The system I installed this on it is actually the primary circulator through a 2xwall HEX serving the HWH off the DHW system...it works so well Ive been promoting it/ its been installed on 3 systems in this last year (its not my J.O.B but I do design energy and conservation projects as is my profession). Last, make sure the expansion tank is on the pump inlet side/ the return (DHWR or HWHR)...these high speed pumps cannot handle even a minimal bit of cavitation. All the best

Mine was the same and caused me much concern at first. Just brush off the filters and wait until they become saturated. Within a couple days mine sped up to where it will now fill the reservoir within four hours or so. Been using it for a year now with no problems and am completely satisfied.

Robert, I have the same problem. I have found that if I tip it back up and then pour again it will come out a little faster, as it will almost stop if I don't. I think the problem is that there is not a "vent". Most stoppers have a separate tube that allows air in while the oil is pouring out. If I need a lot of oil, I just pull the stopper out! The stopper comes out when it's shaken because it's so heavy. Hope this helps. Lynne

Is yours leaking any fluids by chance? Mine started to shoot just puffs of air 90% of the time and I noticed that it had oil / grease leaking from the black plastic bit just above where the connection is on the gun. Only used it 2x, no jams, never used higher than 100 psi etc. In the process of sending it back and getting a porter-cable.

if this is like the 1 liter one I have, there should be a little insignia of an oil can right in front of the trigger on the top right before the brass rod that goes down into the cup. From what I have gathered, it is not oil that is needed but every now and then add a little petroleum jelly or other water NON-soluable grease just to keep the o-ring pliable...if it dries out, pump won't work...go to Solo site, this explanation should be there

I'm not sure what grade your local station sells; however everything I have read states the lowest grade used should be K1. I use an adative that removes most of the smell and fumes. I'm sure it would run on almost any Kerosene, but given the small area inside the unit I would guess that low grade would leave lots of residue. This would most likely cause issues if used regularly. That's just my thoughts though

What have you tried? And, don't make yourself crazy. It might have a defect . I love mine. I put in my favorite oil 1/3 way full, pumped it up until I felt resistance and it sprayed just fine.

On the older models I used oil with no problem. On the newer models I have not used oil and they still burn. Used two inserts last night. They have changed something with the popcorn maker. I have time to return one, and will. Now I have to find a new one. I had really liked this one for years, but there is something wrong. I even reduced the time of cooking to under 2 minutes to 1 minute 38 seconds, Still had a burned cup and popcorn. Also I take the tab and pull the cup out to cool and it is melted into the plastic on the bottom.

You definitely want to be able to adjust the working pressure, as different diffusers and reactors require varying pressures. I got tow of these through Amazon, both of which were defective and had to be returned. Wound up buying a custom unit from GLA. Maybe you'll have better luck with the Aquatek.

I bought my unit from CPO Bosch. It was shipped with oil in it which leaked all over.. The unit is an OUTSTANDING compressor and I am very happy with it. Despite oil leaking all over it. Make sure and follow break in instructions to insure proper use.

The experience I've had is tip on container is dirty (clogged) or has maybe circuit board is not sending signal to sprayer to discharge water. The platinum series has lots of electrical issues. Hope this helps.

I Have had this problem, and it is a very easy fix. Make sure that the black hose connector is inserted correctly into the canister (lever facing the primer button). I believe that when this piece is inserted backwards there are check valves that do not allow flow in the proper direction. This is a design flaw, it would be very easy to design the piece so it only fits in the canister in the correct orientation.

Are you putting a drop of gun oil on the co2 cartridge as suggested in the owners manual? 2nd does this usually happen right after you putas new ccartridge in? Mine does for some reason. I shoot emptying twice after putting in a new cartridge. That seems to help. It sounds stupid but make sure the pellets aren't in backwards.

I use hydralic oil.....oil leaking is very normal for this product.....to fill...open the sight glass...tilt slightly away from you...fill to the bottom edge...replace sight glass and the oil level should be right
