Hello Everybody!
Recently i got myself a second hand Iwata HP-B (classic i think).
My very first duel action airbrush (i started with a Hansa 108, which works great but it doesn't teach me the basics of most airbrushes).
But im encountering some strange problems that i cant seem to fix.
When i remove the needle cap (that protects the nozzle) and i push the trigger only air comes out as expected. When i put the cap back on a small stream of paint is coming out. when i unscrew the cap a bit the paint stops but bubbles start to arise in the cup.
What i tried so far:
I really hope i havnt bought a broken airbrush
Is there anything else i could try?
Thank you very much for your help and answers!

What i tried so far:
- Lots and lots of googeling / youtubing on these issues
- Striped the airbrush and put the stuff in airbrush cleaner (Medea). soaked a hour and cleaned all parts with 98% alcohol for good measure. After this i lubed the airbrush with some acid free silicon grease
- Ive added special tape on several threads in the hope to stop any air leaks
- Cleaned the nozzle several times now
- Tightened the screw inside the airbrush which holds the needle (just before the cup)
- Checked the nozzle for damage with a magnifying glass (when the cap is not on, there is no problem so i suppose the nozzle is alrigt)
- tighten everything that can be rotated
I really hope i havnt bought a broken airbrush
