Fuji 4 stage not putting out enough lacquer

My trusty Fugi 4 stage is not putting out enough Hydrocote. Even spraying water is not really putting out the usual size and volume. No problems in the past!

I have cleaned the gun 2 or 3 times. I also replace the new air tube from the gun to the cap frequently..

How to I check the turbine itself?

Forget it. Problem solved!

The fitting on the bottom of the gun that feeds pressurized air to the cap was totally plugged up. I had the impression that it was a "never to be removed" item - but I had nothing to lose.

Actually, it was the first time in about 8 years that the gun has not worked without problems.

You should have a filter on the air intake too. If that fitting was
plugged, it sounds like the filter might need looking at.
