Isn't it amazing how car guys like us can adapt ANY household object into a shop tool?

John, if you ever want to get rid of the red ribbon, I have working calibrated gages with the correct manometer fluid for $150.

I have been thinking about your problem. I used lacquer thinner to clean mine but they were not plugged. This is a little radical but what if you put the type of cleaner you want to try in the brass tube and then adapt a grease zerk to the threads of the tube and very carefully pump some grease into the tube to put a little pressure on the cleaner. I say a LITTLE PRESSURE. The alternative is to keep pumping and I guarantee something will give but it probably won't be the plug. I said it was radical.

I was only able to clean the tube out w/the wire a good inch below the capillary tube, but it was hours of "fun" to even get to that point.

Have you tired a little fuel injector cleaner? I have used to clean small engine float bowls.
