Reo getting kinda hard to squonk?

[slickcdb2000]

Had me reo for a while now but it's getting hard to squonk and draw is getting tight. What could be my issue? It does it with carts and atties. I have the reducer tube in it but I've had it in there since I have owned it. Also if i set it down and leave it sometimes it will autofeed and if I leave it some place warm it will autofeed all the way out of the catch cup. Any suggestions?

If your having a hard time feeding the mod check to make sure the tube is not touching the bottom of the bottle or the side of the bottle . You could try removing the reducer tube this will certainly help .Keep us informed

Sounds like it needs a good cleaning to me. That always brings them right back for me.

I flush the system with vodka and give the cup a good vodka scrubbing with Q-tips®

Hope that helps.

Also, check the o-ring in the bottle top and make sure that it hasn't gone wonky.

Hmmm..... It may need a good cleaning. I have been using it for about 2 or so months and have never fully cleaned it. I'll give that a try tonight. The tube isn't hitting the bottom and the o ring is good, I've dealt with the o ring issue several time!!! It still works just not near as good.

I was also going to say it probably needs a good cleaning. I try to clean mine at least once a week! Over a year a old and still kicking like I just got it!! REO's rock!!

Not to step on any toes here but we cleaned one Reo and it was still a hard draw. Until we un bent a paper clip and put it down the feeder hole in the catch cup. And that cleared whatever was blocking it. You can watch in the tube to see the paper clip.

You're not stepping on toes! Good catch. I remember someone doing that also recently. I just wish I had remembered sooner Nice job!

I just wanted to say I like the word squonk... If only I had a REO I could use the word in public

 

[slickcdb2000]

Yep I cleaned it out flushed it with vodka and works like a champ again! It was all gunked up, I actually had to blow the vodka down the tube the first time, but all is well now!

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Nicely done! Ya most times it just needs a thorough cleaning. I'm glad its working well now

Cool, they do need a little TLC from time to time. Treat a REO right and it will serve you well for many many years.
