SprayBorg Spray Not! - TheCleaningDude - 02-28-2013
Has some sort of air lock.
How do I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Read on some other board where they cut the line and place a squeeze type pump between the two ends (where the line was cut)
something like this.. http://blueskyppg.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=251

I've never had that issue. Try turning the water supply handle to 'off' then hitting the trigger. It should start to blow back into the bottle. Then turn it back to 'on' and it should spray.
Do you flush it with clean water after each use?

Yea it happens. The two suggestions just mentioned will take care of it. I put the primer bulb on mine and it works fine.

Remove the jets and try to release the air should work

Man, this is where I fall short....repairs.
I loaded a tank of clean water to flush it out after a big job.
Once I noticed it wasn't spraying I turned the sprayer off and ran it. Did not help.
So I need to remove the jets now?

You got two suggestions above that should take care of you.
Sounds like there's simply an air-block in the line. At least that's what it appears to be. These suggestions should help you to prime the line and remove the air-blockage.
Give these fine suggestions a try...

Another quick option is to remove the hose at the brass connection just above the two jets. It has a quick disconnect ability and is quite easy to remove. Once removed turn on the pump until you get a steady stream of fluid. Push the hose back into the brass connection and hit the pump again. I have used this option until I installed the primer bulb. I really like my sprayer. I find the primer bulb solved the problem for me. Enjoy!

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
I'll let you know if I get if fixed or not - or if I end up just dropping it off the top of the Stratosphere.
Will tinker with it this weekend.
