New Neo Main Lever Sticking

So I just got my first airbrush, a Iwata Neo and I find the main lever sticks just a bit so when I pull back for paint I get too much for fine lines. Can I adjust the closed position or grease it?
 
Maybe just adjust the spring tighter?
And make sure it's cleaned, including the nozzle.
a little chapstick on the needle shaft helps it slide through the seal nicely
 
There's also a possibility you might have some milling marks causing some chatter making the action less than smooth. I do know all the Neo type airbrushes are made in China under license by Iwata and routinely have small errors/production flaws. If using some Chapstick (I use Burts bees instead) or Regdab oil doesn't solve the issue with the trigger action, you may want to look into the possibility of it being chatter marks.
