Leads under the door in the right orientation for gas? 1972 Barracuda - 5.7L Hemi, T56 Magnum 6spd - https://www.facebook.com/GoodysGotaHemi 2020 RAM 1500 [img]https://i.imgur.com/v9yezP9.jpg[/img]

Use compressed air to blow out the liner and the roller wheels. Changing the tip wouldn't hurt. Worst case you'll have to change the liner. Actually, depending on the size of the roll you could pull off enough to get to a clean layer of wire. Usually at least 1/8" down.
