2000 stx1100 di

[drewlee13]

I have a 2000 stx 1100 di that was run in a low fresh water mucky condition. This has caused a blockage after the EMM resulting in check engine light and S.L.O.W mode home. I have traced the blockage to lower elbow fitting on the stator cover. Now that that is clear there is a blockage in the hose or fitting marked in the attached

I am having a hard time getting to the hose clamp or the fitting. Does anyone have any helpful hints on clearing this blockage?

Compressed air through the hose?

If you're trying to remove the clamp, use a shorter screwdriver, or an angled screwdriver, or a 5/16" socket or 5/16" wrench.

I just went through this crap clearing blockages from a carbed STX. I used a 1/4" ratchet with a 1/4" socket and felt my way to a loose clamp. I also had a blocked spray passage on top of the chamber not letting water into the pipe, it blew the hose just behind the chamber.

I used compressed air and seemed to have cleared the blockage. I will test the fix tonight.

Thanks for the suggestions.
