I get a lot of spit in the mouthpiece when I'm not using enough air. More Air.

Is it because I am not using enough air so the spit doesn't go through the tubing? I guess that's pretty reasonable

I had a MW 25 and never had this problem. I switched to a MW 20, and have experienced just what you described. The valve and lead pipe sections are nearly identical. I use the same amount of air, so I attribute it to gravity. I now tilt my horn slightly forward and left when not playing, and problem solved.
