JoeBlog Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Have you cleaned your air lines? Mine starts to make some pretty crazy noises when they aren't getting enough air. If I turn them down to the recommended 2 o'clock setting, they start to chatter. So, I run them slightly wider open and clean the airlines at least once a week.

ghostface Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 i find that if i suck some hot freshwater through the airline it cleans out salt/calcium deposits, and stops this noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
