      Your Central Pneumatic Paint Sprayer might be sputtering due to several reasons: the material level is low (refill it), the cup is tipped too far (hold it upright), the air vent is clogged (clean the vent hole), the fluid inlet connections are loose (tighten them), the fluid needle packing nut is dry or loose (lubricate and/or tighten it), or the fluid tip/seat is loose or damaged (adjust or replace it).
