along with everything else mentioned not getting it cleaned properly last time and also contamination in the paint that wasn't strained out prior to pouring in the cup can also cause sputtering.

I have had this problem from time to time too. Either all pieces of the gun are not tightened down enough and are letting air in, or the pait is not thin enough. Check all the fittings and if it still does it, use more thinner in you paint.

Lose or dry packing behind the spray head, allowing air in, will cause sputtering.

dude--read the post down further. i am dealing with the same conditions. the pressure,
the viscosity, the length of hose--ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. i call "globs" orange peel. oh--the speed and distance away from the work
are critical too. bye

The packing in the forward section of the paint gun--where the needle goes into it, must be lubricated occasionally. I always used a drop of motor oil, and allowed it to sink in, then wiped off the rest. working the trigger helped the oil to get into the packing. Never had any problem with it getting in the paint, and usually lasted for 3-4 months.
