Cleaning an older Remora without the injector screw?

[sandalscout]

Hey Guys, just picked up Kev-Dogs Remora, and it appears that the injector is clogged. I see that the current Remora's all come with a screw that allows you to remove the injector and clean it, but mine does not. It's got a 180 degree turn that I have to get through to clean the injector. I'm about to start soaking it in vinegar, but does anyone have any suggestions? I cannot get a brush through there at all.

Thanks!
Matt

I think the vinegar is a fine idea to start. See if you can find a manual online for it that may describe cleaning, but the vinegar is the least intrusive way to start.

Yeah, I'm doing that currently, and every once in a while it starts kicking it hardcore for a few minutes, so I think that'll eventually get it cleaned up. I have found the manual, but only for the new style, unfortunately. I can't find any mention of the old style anywhere.

let it run in a dilute vinegar bath all night and most of today, cleaned the HECK out of it and then hooked it up, working like a charm now!

Good deal!! Vinegar is a great tool!
