Campbell Hausfeld HV2000 turbine sprayer

I just acquired an old but great condition HVLP Campbell -Hausfeld HV2000 turbine paint sprayer. I have no prior experience with this sprayer and have a few questions. First of all when I turn on the pump air is leaking from the spray tip through the middle needle and the two holes on each side of the spray tip. Is this normal? I have tried adjusting the material flow knob, the air flow control knob, and the packing nut with no luck. I'm not sure if the air leaking is normal or a problem, I have filled up the paint canister with water just to test it out and it seems to spray fine. Even though air is constantly leaking out of the tip no water from the paint canister comes out until I pull the trigger. I have ordered a new needle kit, packing seals, and canister seals just to be on the safe side because the air leak just doesn't seem normal to me, maybe I'm wrong but the parts were cheap enough. If anyone has any troubleshooting info, prior experience, advice or suggestions i would greatly appreciate it. I could also use some help or directions on installing the new packing nut seals when they arrive. Thanks again, Dan
