Best bet would be to get a syringe and pull it through gently from the damper. Once you’ve got rid of the air, put the damper back on the head and run a clean and it should all flow nicely again.
Let us know if you get stuck.

Cheers stafford, i did that 🙂 i googled the problem and found a guy asking the same question, someone told him what to do so i did a bit of open heart surgery to it, gave all the dampers etc a good cleaning and anything that needed it so its back to life 🙂

Excellent! Job well done 😉

John, for future reference should something like this happen again. It’s a good idea to change the small "O" seal if you disturb the dampers. Read a few times on forums that people had problems with air ingress after replacing the dampers & not changing them.

yes Martin i read that myself and checked the o ring out while i was in there, so i know where it is etc 🙂 thanks
