Thanks for your comments and the safety warning I have used this unit quite a little in years past and am aware of the danger but a reminder is always appreciated.

After using the unit I have always cleaned it with mineral spirits or water depending on the paint I was using and then I have always ran some diesel fuel through the unit and left it set charged with the diesel fuel under very low pressure. That method has always worked for me but this time due to the long idle period the diesel fuel leaked out and the unit was dry. I tried the cleaning as you suggested but as yet have not solved the problem.

Thanks for your good advice Tom R.
