Stickey triger

[InfernoCoatings]

I recently purchased a hobby gun....( 3weeks ago ) to replace a Chicago gun as I thought caswells gun would be better.... my very first time using it it had a sticky trigger..... i used it like this 4 or 5 more times and and the problems just got worse.. the trigger now has no effect on the air pressure comming out..... I pulled the trigger apart and cleaned and lubed it all as I have read and nothing stiff the same problem......

I have now gone back to the chicago gun due too the issues with the other.

any help getting it back up and running would be appreciated.

Thanks

Call Caswells and explain everything you did, and I believe they will make it right for you, They did for me, and they were very helpful.

Been about a year, No OEM repair for this problem I really liked the quality of the gun except for the trigger problem. Im surprised they dont have a fix by now. I spent alot for the system that I dont use, and would tell others not to purchase. I too used mine once and the trigger was stuck. i dont feel that I should have to take the gun apart like that everytime I attempt to use it

Clean and lightly lube the trigger... make sure you have enough pressure going to the gun. Mine works fine at about 30-40 psi to the gun.. adjust the pressure down going through the gun with adjuster at the bottom of the gun.
If you only put 5-10 psi to the gun the trigger will never work correctly
IMHO

I just got my oven together and took my gun (Caswell) out of the box. I got the gun in the mail earlier this week. I applied the recommended PSI and it worked for about 2 seconds. I ended up taking the whole thing (gun) apart and thoroughly cleaning. It looks like the OEM lube turns gummy/crusty and clogs things and makes all the moving parts move like ass (I have pics of the crusty/gummy parts).
I agree with the 30-40PSI recommendation. 10-15PSI will not operate my gun sufficiently. I also used petroleum/Vaseline in very light amounts for my lube. The stickiness is from the O-rings binding on there respective shafts. In my case both the trigger and the fine PSI adjuster were very sticky. The seat and valve on my fine adjuster were both full of crusty nasty gunk right out of the box. Stronger return springs (trigger and fine PSI), clean up all the burrs/crust/gummy OEM lube (thread sealant maybe?), and it works ok....
Caswell should re-think there supplier, or re-design the gun and get a new vendor. It is obvious that at least the gun portion is an off the shelf lowest bidder type item.... I paid over $200 for this thing and I had to disassemble, clean, inspect, lube, and re-assemble before I can even think about using it, WTF?
This is my first PC gun so what do I know.

I had this problem tonight. I have the caswell gun with the variable kv's. I found that a spring from an ink pen fits inside of the oem spring. With both springs it added just the right amount of tension I thought. Its cheap and worked awesome for me. Hope this helps someone. Jason
