Ambic teat sprayer not sucking up teat spray

Grueller · 2021-10-31 13:16:23

As the title says, my ambic isn't taking up the teat spray. It isn't punctured anywhere and the barrel is half full. Is there any common issue I am missing?

Blocked filter?
Could be a diaphragm or a valve.
Is there any sign of teat spray leaking when you take cover off?
And is it clicking?

There is a service kit for them.

Manual is here there is not a whole lot to them, but any air leak at all will stop it working.

Thanks Emaherx
It is clicking. There is a bleed hole cleaning tool inside it but I can't see the bleed hole anywhere.
No teat spray leaking when I take off the cover.
I will have more time tomorrow to go looking for an air leak.
