Memory tells me that Dr. Bentley sez not to use small objects to 
clear the jets - but it's not specifed as to why, or what damage 
might result.  I discovered that the cleaning wire in my percussion 
cap nipple wrench (for my .50-cal Hawken rifle) is an ideal fit for the jet 
nozzles!!  (Another hobby...sigh...)

I like Andrew's suggestion to check the hose routing; if it looks 
good, try compressed air at low pressure, perhaps from the nozzle 
back down the line??? 

(I have one jet partially clogged, too, so I gotta play with this 
some mo').
