It sucks but a $20 HVLP gun from Harbor Freight is better than most siphon guns. If you continue to use a siphon gun make sure the vent hold is open or else the gun will spray like crap.
Be sure the tip matches the p sheet for the product.

Air vent in the cup is probably clogged.
When I die I want to go like my Grandfather did, quietly in his sleep. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.

there is a air leak behind the fluid tip or the packing's for the fluid needle.
it's probably the fluid tip.
if the cup vent were plugged the paint won't spray out of the gun.
it doesn't matter if it's a high or low $$$ gun they all can have this problem.
perception is 90% of reality

make sure the nozzle is tight and not leaking air (nozzle is under the air cap)
and yes. most syphon guns are junk. I don't use a siphon gun anymore, but executed many fine paint jobs with one years ago. Take that back, I still use one on my paint pot.
