Pull the hoses off at the spayer head and see if you have flow there,
then
trace back to the problem.  When removing the hoses heat the ends with a
hair dryer (there is a heater for this sort of thing but a hair dryer
will
work).  Once the hoses are back on a little glue such a automotive goop
on
on the outer edge might help keep it in place.
