Gentleman,

I have removed my nozzles and soaked them in vinegar. One (farthest from reservoir) had much black sand-like gunk inside and is mostly clear when moving air through it now. The other I cannot get a hint of air through! I currently don't have access to compressed air. Any thoughts on chemicals? Purple Power? Reservoir had a hole in it and some gunk inside bottom but I have rinsed, epoxied, and replaced on car. Pump works fine. Any help appreciated.

 

can you try a compressed air can that you use to clean your computer?

i am not sure what chemicals you can use to clean it with cause the nozzle is mostly plastic.

can you very carefully use a needle to poke in there and try to clean it out?

 

What did you epoxy????

 

Grt idea Hurley. I'm with ya on the chemicals. I've used a safety pin but it's not going very far. I'll try to find a needle or other and see if I have better success.

 

Justt bought ride. Rat had eaten a hole in reservoir and nobody had fixed. Had some blue washer fluid still and debris. Probably what got sucked up into nozzle b/c hole is at top of reservoir so it would've been hard to know that it had a problem until nozzle got clogged. I also found filler neck cap in shielding so that part was also allowing in dirt.

Lived in dfw 11 yrs!

 

btw got my hands on some of the black "sand" that came out of nozzle and it dissolved between my fingers. very greasy.

 

Try clr to soak in

 

Strip the paper off of a twisty tie and use the wire to clean out the hole.

 

Just to recap for you fellas the twisty tie combined with compressed air got 'er fixed! thx.
