Thanks Rick, your suggestions are (to a degree) what I was thinking.
What I can't understand is the blockage.
This machine is only three months old and had less than 20 hours on it when I bought it.
The previous owner was using the same solutions that I use.
(He actually drove the 41/2 - 5 hours to my place to work with me for a day using both the Sprayborg & Big Yella, then decided he'd get a Cimex.
His workplace then gave him a permanent day job and he stopped cleaning part time.
The machine was in mint condition, plus I got 2 x 20 litres of solutions & a box of beige pads for a ridiculous price.
Albeit, I had to drive down to his town to pick it up, no problem.
)
All up, less than 50 hours on the clock so to speak, so there should be no build up in the lines, but I have already given them a really good reverse flush.
This week-end I'll have a bit more time to devote to it and get everything sorted out.
I had already decided to get a new hose and new plugs.
I had replaced the plugs on my old faithful once in a decade, & I think that was from constantly removing & replacing them that they just got like me, old & worn out.
I also replaced the hose after getting a new solution tank.
Believe it or don't but I'm STILL on the ORIGINAL BELT on my original Mex;
The ones for down under do not come with an on/off switch like the U.S. models, so I had one installed, this is because of Australia's somewhat antiquated safety laws which refer to rotary machines mainly.
The original on/off lever I still use after each tank fill to reverse the polarity of the brushes (electrical).
Apart from that I have not spent a cent on any maintenance for it, just brushes and pads plus drive boards.
One last point, my original was made in the U.K. now I'm not sure, BUT I think this "new one" may be manufactured in Asia ??
The build does not appear to be as solid or good ??
It's after 22:00
Ooroo.
I know, I'm computer illiterate.....................

Goodnight, or is it good morning.
I don't regret my past, I just regret the times I've wasted with the wrong people.
Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.
I'll retire when I can no longer do what I love, or I no longer love what I can do.
Stop moving, start dying........
