I am using an iwata eclipse cs airbrush with an iwata compressor. the comopressor seems to be working fine when power, but the airbrush is not getting and air. when i push down for air release, nothing happens. i have tried cleaning all parts and have made sure all connections are tight. the brush was used once before without incident, but sat for a few weeks before i used it again. any idea what is wrong?

either something blocked, or the fact they the GP100 appears to be a gravity feed airbrush, it it the right way up?

Is the paint tube clear at the venturi?

Try pluging it into another outlet, compressor is possibly locked up, consider replacement.

wat kind of paint do ypu use?

hi my iwata powerjet lite shut down.theres power but no performance.it only gets used for prob ten hours a week,somtimes weeks without use.is this common and expansive to repair.thank you.re ****.

An in-line water separator should be used before the supply line, a good air filter wouldn't hurt either.

I assume you have adjusted the nozzle... On my unit, there is a SMALL hole in the cap for the cups to let in air above the paint. Also OFTEN the paint must be thinned to use in an airbrush. Since you havent been able to draw water even, thinning is NOT the problem.

The airbrush aspirates the paint by Bernouli's principle, that is where there is higher velocity of a fluid, there is a lower pressure. The nozzle creates that and the adjustment is important. On mine which is a "Wren", I think by Binks there is a conical piece that the paint comes out of with a throttling needle. This has the be unscrewed to open the paint path and adjust it. The air flows at high speed around this cone creating a vacuum.

The headline says "Eclipse" but that is a gravity feed so I suspect that is the old Fixya problem of having incomplete choices to pick from.

It sounds like you have a problem with the air valve. Possible deterioration of the valve material? I am not sure what they use, but if it is a rubber the cleaning thinner MAY have destroyed its properties if the cleaner got into the air path and valve.

Try replacing cup gasket first then clean all inlets and outlets completely, check that all valves operate properally, and all seals and o-rings are in good condition. Clean and lubricate adjustment fluid valve.

Anest-Iwata brand spray equipment has the most versatile line of airbrushes on the market. Im sure you will find one to meet your needs. well worth the money, it's all I spray
