Default Gun trouble....

I have a PC unit from Chicago Electric. The air trigger will not release right away, and it will continue to blow powder for a few seconds after i release the trigger. I thought i was running too little air pressure but that doesnt seem to be the case, Im at 20psi.. I took it appart and cleaned it.. but still does it.. its drivin me mad... has any one else had this problem?

Yup had the same gun, Have to love Harbor Freight but there is a fix,
take the trigger apart again and on the STEM of the trigger apply a little grease NOT ON THE WASHERput back together and leave the packing nut a little loose.. Cured mine..

Had the same trouble, was very annoying having to undo the air every time you layed the gun down. Took it apart and lubed it a few times. Finally ended up taking it back.

Same deal here.... I havent had time to take it apart to lube it up, so I just keep a pair of needle nose pliers to pull the thing out when finished spraying... Besides, I'm married so no vasilene around the house
