Good morning everyone. Caught up real quick but off to work i go now.

Matt check for any blockages. Take the atty off and bottle off and try using a syringe to squirt water through it.

Unscrew the bottle and make sure you don't have a air bubble somewhere in the tube. Then with the RM2 off squonk and see if juice starts to rise.

I thought it was common knowledge that it is where "black stuff" goes to hide. Seriously its only important that its working and you figured it out.

Just wouldnt expect a brand new REO to be blocked with not even 1/3 of a bottle attempted to be pushed through it...

And it wasnt just slide something through and unblock it, i had to push pretty hard to get it through

So it was blocked by some gross black stuff... I stuck a tiny screw driver through it, and it came out all gunked in black stuff, then everything started flowing. And now it works perfect.. But it was brand new... Why would there be a bunch of black stuff lodged in there?
Stands to reason, that some minor things like that will slip through the net, with quality control
You figured it out, & got it working easily, so alls well that ends well

I just wonder what that stuff was. Hope you washed your Reo with really hot water. oh btw did you smell the stuff? If so what did it smell like?

I did wash it real well, also I couldnt get a close enough picture, i dont have a macro lens. i was trying to get a good shot of the black stuff, but basically i stuck in a clean tiny screw driver, and it came out all gunked up with the black gunk. So i squited a ton of hot water through the well and down out the tube several times and flushed it all out. Now it seems to be working fine and i dont notice any bad taste

ok, as long as it doesn't stink i was just curious as to what it could be. Maybe some kind of machine oil?

Could it have been Noalox?

Good morning REOville!

I hope everyone is ready for the week end (if it is your week's ending).

Healing vibes to those who need them, and hoping you don't have to squeeze real hard to get your juice flowing.

I am having trouble with my vaping, yesterday I cut my button-pressing finger chopping vegetables, then when I was flossing my teeth the floss went right into the cut and busted it open again. My sinuses are killing me, then out of the blue I got the first bloody nose in years. WTH!!!! It's like my nose was jealous of my finger and competing to see which one could bleed more. I looked like that zombie with the flu when I looked in the mirror :facepalm:

Here's to hoping your day is going better than mine!

I hope you start feeling better. It may be best that you sit this day out, with that kind of luck you never know what else could happen. ;)

OMG you are right! Things do tend to happen in three's right? :unsure:

Great, just great! Now I am intensely paranoid along with the headache and button pressing finger ache. :lol:

The nose bleed could be caused by a change in weather. It could be really dry.
