Is the gun clean? Especially the end nozzle?

Sounds to me like your primer may be a bit too thick.
Back in the 60s cobwebbing was popular for custom painting,the cobwebbing effect was achieved by spraying super thick lacquer at a low pressure.
Try adding a dash of urethane reducer and increase your pressure.

Paint's too thick. I use that same primer in a el-cheapo HVLP gun, mixed according to instructions and don't have a problem.
