Hi Guys, can you help?

My front screen jets werent working well and i was getting dirty smear from the water that did come through.

The reservoir was full of gunge/filth so I took it out, cleaned it and emptied it. I then cleared through all the tubing and pushed a pin through the jet holes.

Now everything is reconnected and the reservoir has clean water in it but nothing is coming through at all. Not even the small squirt I had before.

I can here the motor/pump going and i checked the tubes and jet holes again.

Whats going on?
What should I do?

Thanks in advance

hmm, well did you remove all the hoses and blow through?
the pump could still be clogged, maybe one of the connection/fittings could be clogged
by using a pin you may have blocked the nozzle more, if you soak the nozzles in grease remover and blow through you may be able to free whatever dirt is left

also to sii where the system is clogged you can remove the different sections of hoses to see where it is blocked
ie- remove the hose to nozzle and see if it squirts, then move down to the next fitting/connection remove hose and see if it sprays out of there

let us know how it goes, were always here to help cool
