Deckster Spraying Issues! Please Help a Guy Out...

[fireandrain 39]

So my first day with my new Deckster. Got the thing all rigged up finally (thnkas guys for all the tips~didn't have any manual with this one, and it sprayed well . The problem, and it ended up being a BIG one, was that when I released te trigger on the un, the darn thing just kept spraying~thin but steady stream of seal... What a mess! A job that should have taken my 3 hrs at the most, ended up eating 91/2 hrs.and I still have a couple more to put in tommorow! Yipes! Caled Sunbrite and they said that I might have an obstruction in some mechanism or another~ seemed to make sense, but i just got the thing a few days ago! I flushed the system out with h20, about 10 gal worth, but still, the same problem, darn thing wont seem to stop spraying. This caused a heck of a mess, had to spray constantly, then frantically disconnect from the QC and back brush the freakin mess it left behind.

Im REALLY bummed about his first experience with the Deckster and now 2 days behind my packed schedule... Anyone have any ideas on what going on with this gun? anything I can do to fix it? I have another 2500 sq. ft. to shoot tomorrow and Im dreading having to pull out the pump-up!

Thanks!

IT's your trigger if the pump is priming up and stops cycling.....

Thanks for the link Shane.. unfortunatley there back order 2-3 wks... anyone know of where i can find a replacement any, well, soooooner? Maybe I can rig something up with a wagner gun? trouble is deckboards will be a pain without the reach of a lance... wait though, can i just use a pw lance with a certain deg. tip?

Check with Tom @ ACR Products (banner on top of most forums). He is a pumptec dealer and keeps a stock of parts on hand.

Well, it was the trigger, working with a temp gun right now and I LOVE the Deckster! If you still are using those pump sprayers, run, dont walk over to Tracy @ Sunbrite and pick one up! They are AWESOME! Figured out the issue with my gun, and Tracy talked me through it like a real pro. I dont know if its ok to 'promote' anyone on here, but I really received some outstanding treatment today! Thanks!
