Still looking for an air leak on my Roland Versacamm SP-300V

I have now changed cap tops, all dampers and O rings and pulled ink into each damper and they have the correct colors in them, both manifolds, all drain lines and the drain tank, New ink pump, and yet I still cannot pull ink from under the cap tops with the heads parked in the proper place. I also tried changing the ribbon cables around because the only color printing is cyan and some yellow right now.

The only thing I have not changed yet is the capping station itself. Is there anyway to tell if a capping station is not working properly?
Anyone know of a Roland Dealer a capping station for an SP-300V ?

Must admit I have never run into this problem over the past 10 years and each time I connect the syrenge on the tubes under the car tops there is almost no resistance when trying to pull ink through the lines.

Running out of idea's on what to try next.

a tool mechanics use to bleed brakes. instead of screwing around with the syringe for hours, it took a minute per line
10' of line is a lot to pull ink through with a syringe

Netsol, have you tested your printhead fuses f2 and f3? They are very small at the bottom right corner of the main board behind two ribbons. I had to install an inline glass fuse on top of my f3 fuse, color came back. Hope that helps, Lightbulb88

He posted this over 6 years go, so am guessing he fixed it

Hello damonCA21, yes I did install the inline glass fuse to the blown f3 fuse. I was able to get the color back, but now I have another issue. Black prints on top of the cyan.
