gummed up airbrush

I don't think it is the paint, because it fizzes even with just the cleaner solution. I flush it with cleaner after each color change and run a 3/4 oz bottle of cleaner through it at the end of each painting session. I have taken the whole thing apart and swabbed out the interior as well. It looks clean, but just does not run clean. I'll take it apart and try soaking it over night tonight.

Backflush ,,is when you hold the brush under water,, holding your finger tight over the nozzle where the paint usaully comes out ,, then pull the trigger wide open .. Contents of brush and air blow out intake hole .. I do this between colors besides running water and a little cleaner thru it ..
