[QUOTE="Willie, post: 16691505, member: 14133"] I fixed it. More below. It was way too easy to pour the stuff into the reservoir. I'm getting old, man! But when I realized I had a non-working system, I had to pull it all apart. I inquired at two local shops and neither would guarantee the fix because it's aluminum... So I ended up shipping it back to C & R, who is going to repair it. It cost $93 to ship FedEx ground one way. Are you kidding me? I did not like the idea of having to wait one month to get it back, so I put the stock unit back in temporarily. At least I can drive the car. This afternoon, I disconnected both hoses to the brick, hooked up my air compressor once again, but this time, reversed the flow. Look at what blew out. The sides of the bucket were clean. All that crap stuck on the sides blew out. >> [ATTACH type="full" alt="40815.jpeg"]1726972[/ATTACH] Mind you when the system was running, the outflow into the reservoir was clear. So to see this crap come out, I was a little surprised. Anyway, I disconnected the air and blew into one of the lines and it felt much freer. I blew into the other line and it was free too. I then filled the brick with water, reconnected the system and ran the pump. I now have good flow, so I think it's working again. Willie [/QUOTE]
