Drained out all the fuel in the line, and the barrel valve. And blew out the nozzles! Spray with w-d 40 or something like that??

pull the nozzles out, to let empty. we always flushed the whole system with castor oil when weren't gonna use it for awhile by removing the pump and spinning it with a drill while the fueline was in some oil.

We always put Marvel's Mystery Oil in the pump and barrel valve, too.
