How to unclog hazer

Got a le maitre neutron xs hazer from a guy who said it was clogged. Opened it up, and there are hoses goin everywhere, there are tiny air bubbles in the line, but they aren't moving. The tank has about a half inch of fluid left, and I think the sucker is in it enough, but not sure. I turn on the main, then turn on the haze switch, and a monitor light flickers. It has a 2 minut startup cleaning thing, then the fan comes on but no haze comes out. What could be wrong?

I have no experience with hazers or fog machines for the matter but I found this with a google search.

Well what I found out is that the lines have air pockets, and that is preventing it from pumping. I can't figure out how to bleed it though

Would an automobile speed bleeder work? They aren't that expensive.

Elevate the source, ie, a separate container of water? This would allow the air out and let the vinegar/water syphon in, sort of.

Maybe, I got the fluid pump apart to see if it was plugged up, and either I assembled it wrong or it is broken. I cant really find any info on the pump, it is a ulka (mne type c1) hopefully someone can find a diagram or somethin on it.
Otherwise could a fuel pump work?

replacement parts
In all probablility the heating coil is plugged, I've yet to unplug one but had a lot of fun trying (muriatic acid + aluminum heater coil = a show of sorts). That or like you said your pump is gone or both; heater coil gets plugged then pump burns out trying to push fluid into a brick wall.

I've confirmed it's the fluid pump, so I'll b replacing it
