vj-6414a that has been sitting

ok, I need a bit of advice on where to start i picked up a vj-6414a that had been setting about a year and am working on flushing the ink system and getting it going as the shop I got it from literally just turned it off and let it set. I did unhook one hose from the yellow damper and tried to pull ink through with a syringe but it was tough so I will assume there is a clog somewhere I currently have the printhead parked on a cloth-soaked-in printhead cleaner. here are some photos of what the tubes look like. just not exactly sure where I should start to be honest.

ok need some input here i just did a test print on greyscale it isn't perfect but it is printing black ink if I set to color I get nothing at all I am a bit confused as I am getting ink to the printhead but not on media and it is going somewhere as the yellow cartridge is actually low and I started with full cartridges
