has it been dropped at any time, the inner jet on turbo nozzles are made of ceramic and can break pretty easily if this is the case then you will have to buy a new one

if it's got in line filter , take it off and undo the screw inside then u can take out the filter cage and give it a good clean. the filter is best cleaned on a regular basis. it makes a vast difference to performance.

i worked out it was the actual plastic nozzle inside the brass casing that was blocked with something. only trouble is i pushed a pin inside it and the pin snapped inside so its totally ruined now.  :'(, i cleaned the inline filter which gets clogged up with crap so it could not be that.  when i pulled the cone piece out of the brass casing i could not see a little hole through it so it suggests it was blocked, oh well another 90 odd quid down the drain  :'(

I flying through turbo nozzles at moment. Barely gettting a month outta them at moment. I think my supplier must be buying a chinise spurious one. Where do people buy them in the uk? I might get a dual pumps one and see if it makes a difference......
