Adam, try pushing a pin into the hole on the jet. If it is blocked there, that should clean it out

Doubt a pin would stuff it up.

You're meant to use a pin to adjust them.

Well I bought the plastic elbow to replace the broke one. Only $2.25 so cheap and nasty. Still had trouble with the plastic in the rubber hose. So I crushed it with my hand and broke up the plastic and put washer on and the pressure of the water took all the bits of plastic out...great job by me once again

Does the warranty start counting from build date or delivery date?
