    Try it at 9 volts with 1.5 to 2 turns out. Let me know how that works out for you. How were you running it & what did you not like about it's performance?

    Do you put a slight bend in the needle bar?
    I do, just below half way down.. also, I very slightly bend the needles towards the back of the tip.
    Hope this helps.

    This could be due to the fact that the bar had more bend than needle creating a gap between where the needle glides in the tip causing it to spray. Bend the need stack instead and do not over do the rubber band tension as this will cause the needle to lift and give your undesired results.
