As most of my Locos are second hand from on-line auction sites, they aren't always the world's best runners!  Having seen this product advertised in MRH, I contacted the advertiser and very quickly received some.  It was certainly effective. My locos came to life.  Now I have problem with the #5 dispenser.  The needle appears to be blocked and even ,what I consider to be excessive pressure fails to deliver even the smallest drop.  Any suggestions from other users who might have experienced this calamity?

I tested my #5 dispenser and found the needle to take a #75 drill without trouble -- using the MRH Universal modeling chart ( available as a bonus download here), I was able to determine some #24 AWG wire should work to ream out the inside of the needle and remove any obstructions.
