Hi Mike,

I've not got a huge system, actually no system yet, just a Powermatic single stage blower that I have to wheel around and connect to whatever tool I'm using. Been using it for years though and the flow is now much less than it once was.

First I'll take the bag off, outside, and turn it inside out to beat off what I can, might be all that's needed. Have to find a paper suit to wear, gonna be messy :)
