Memory tells me that Dr. Bentley sez not to use small objects to clear the jets - but it's not specifed as to why, or what damage might result. I discovered that the cleaning wire in my percussion cap nipple wrench (for my .50-cal Hawken rifle) is an ideal fit for the jet nozzles!! (Another hobby...sigh...) I like Andrew's suggestion to check the hose routing; if it looks good, try compressed air at low pressure, perhaps from the nozzle back down the line??? (I have one jet partially clogged, too, so I gotta play with this some mo'). ....................................................... Al Powell, Ph.D. Voice: 409/845-2807 107 Reed McDonald Bldg.
