Hi there,

what is the problem exactly? Is the new cable binding or is it still not cleared out?

Hi there,

about the only thing to do is get some heavy gauge fencing wire 8 gauge, don't know where you live but you still should still be able to pick some up from a hardware store, use this to clean out the tubes, try this next.
