I bought a used 2X that did the same thing, finally came to the conclusion that it was old sticky oil inside that was loosening up as I used it and starting the stick up the mechanism. I solved the problem by turning it upside down, holding the trigger down, and squirting lacquer thinner in the air hole to thin out and dissolve the oil inside. I'm sure it didn't do the O-rings inside any favors, but at this point the only other option was disassembly and rebuild. I hooked the air up again and hit the trigger, blowing all the gunk out, and it worked fine after that.
I've also noticed with that same gun that if I overoil it (more than 2 drops) it will repeat that behavior until the oil thins out a bit - so I'm pretty sparing with the lube now. Makes me wonder if simply over-lubing the gun will produce that behavior, whether it's clean inside or not.
