Steve, I was the one who had this problem, and solved it by draining the header tank,disconecting the line at the shutoff valve and blowing through the line.There was some dirt blocking the line.If you leave the header cap off you can hear if the line is open when you blow throught it. There is a right angle bend in mine which collected the dirt. Another person with the same problem simply bent the line to reduce the angle of bend, giving a better flowthrough. There have been other solutions having to do with the vent holes and rubber washers,but since you've been flying for some time it seem logical that you have an obstruction.
