Just opened my new iwata and out of the box it wouldn't blow air. Not sure what happened, but your guide to taking the valve out and then reinserting fixed my problem. Thank you, sir!

[elsunking]

Thank you for this. This was exactly my issue with this airbrush! Works like new!

[DerBomster]

Lifesaver, this! I usually manage to somewhat loosen the stuck trigger when cleaning the airbrush, but I always felt that that was never as good as when it was new. I’ve always been a bit afraid to fully disassemble the valve bit at the bottom of my airbrush. This helps a lot!

[johnogsii]

Thankyou very much, the instructions in this video fixed my sticky trigger, working like new now!! 👍👌

[AndrevwZA]

I'm glad you did not mention lubing the valve. It normally causes more problems than it fixes.

[Adam_Boots]

I had a problem with a sticky trigger but it didn't turn out to be the valve. It turned out to be the o-ring the dangle bit on the trigger fits through. I cleaned it off as best as I could and used a toothpick to put through it and twisted it to clean off the contact point between the rubber and metal. Once put back together it worked much better.
It's only a cheap airbrush but it works well enough for what I need it for.

Good one. I use a quick squirt of silicone spray in the valve. Works EVERY time. No dismantling reqd.

[AngeofDrkness]

Mine's being doing it and I seeing this, makes perfect sense
(I was wondering if you could pull that bottom apart). Guess I'll deal with the "sticky" for the current project, as the repair kit is another $100

Nice instructional video, this will help a lot of folks out. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. -David

Tank you for this Video. I bought two used airbrushes with this problem. Now they work again! Thanks!!!! :-)

[steveevans]

Great video! Hopefully I can stop the air coming through when I take my finger off the trigger.

[rebelscale]

I had that happen to mine after about 3 years. I ended up removing the o-ring that's in the trigger assembly (it's on top of the big brass piece you left in the airbrush). A little extra air escapes through the trigger now, but not much. However, the trigger pops up much fast after I let go and just feels more responsive. Not an ideal solution, but works well for me.

Eclipse series are said to have Production errors

Thank you I was having this problem and you helped me fix it

[steveedwards]

Awesome video thank you for all the information

My Iwata Airbrush Replacement Part I-715-1 Needle Chucking guide w/auxiliary lever is sticking after about 10-15 uses. The Auxiliary Lever stops coming forward and I have to take backend apart and reseat trigger and chuck guide. WHY do you think the Auxiliary Lever is not coming forward with trigger? Thanks

[grendelprime]

Thanks for this video. I have rebuilt that trigger assembly with all new parts and seals. It still sticks. I put some gun oil in there and it doesn't stick for a job or two. Then it gets all gummy and sticks again. Pehaps this is just an Eclipse CS problem? I don't know. I just bought a different model airbrush, I give up.
