Clogged A side Gun whip
Finally had my first stop up in the A-side whip at the gun. It has to be in the last foot or so. Ended up getting a spare from another contractor but was wondering if there is any chance of getting the clog out? It is a complete stop up. Any suggestions?

Much easier to replace the A hose with a 1/4" 3000-psi paint spray hose. Local industrial supply can make the hose with the proper fittings. `oG |

Carefully drill it out. Or you can just cut off the hose before the clog. Take to a NAPA and have a new end put on. |

like olg' said replace it. Make sure its a moisture-lok hose and has the pressure and temp capabilities. Of course you're gonna have to take apart your whip section removing scuff jacket, insulation, unwinding the hoses and electricals. When you put your new hose in twist the two(A&B) together in a helix formation for flexibility. |
