[QUOTE="Willie, post: 16691413, member: 14133"] The first thing I did was disassemble the hoses at key points. I then tested the pump. It is fine. I even have a spare and both flow similarly. I then put my lips to the disconnected hoses to find the interference. I checked the leaking H.E. first. Minimal air restriction, about what you'd expect. I moved up to the in-block brick and tried to blow through it. NO FLOW AT ALL. This is when I connected my air compressor and with the other hose disconnected, blew through it until I felt air coming out. This is where the stop leak plugged passageways. Then I reconnected everything, filled it with water and ran it. Now it flows, but I equate it to a one inch deep flow trickling down a one foot diameter pipe. Not good. I called K-Seal and asked for advice. I was told just run clean water and it will eventually clear up. I'm not sold on this because what they are saying, essentially, is that with time, the seals the product makes eventually breaks down. Willie [/QUOTE]
