tried using aircraft remover, or take it all apart, and let it soak in thinner for a while, not overnight cause it will cause the seal to get worn out faster.

Go to your local jobber and get spray gun cleaner, be careful when using it cause its acid based. After soaking it for awhile rinse off with water then with laquer thinner. Youll have a brand new gun.
