Subject: Spray Mist woes

Well, I've dismanteled the whole thing, cleaned it in the 
ultrasonic cleaner and put it all back together and still the problem 
persists: the soluble oil mostly dribbles out in spite of ok (not great) 
air flow. Inside the main housing is what looks to be a tire inflator 
valve whose opening is controlled by a brass pin which is screwed down on 
top of the valve's smaller pin with a small knurled threaded brass knob. 
Has anyone else had any similar problems with one of these systems?? 
What's the secret to getting it working right??

I'd be surprised if soluble oil would spray from 
a mist system.  I know my setup certainly wouldn't
spray anything more viscous than water.

The coolants made expressly for mist cooling/lube
are mixed with water and do not seem to increase
the viscosity in any meaningful manner.  Unless
I let it sit in the bucket too long in a hot garage.
But then that is another story.

Best regards,
