Lost My Black ..help

[DONDIRTBIKER]

Okay the other day i changed out my black cartridge, printed my stuff and all was good, the next day i printed and it was losing the black... i changed the damper and noticed that it seemed to look like the black line to the damper had air in it.. i would like to know how to prime this using a syringe..
do i just connect the syringe to the hose that is connected to the damper or the damper itself, could it be the pump and how do you see if the pump is working..
im kinda new to tinkering around in my jv3 but love this printer..
any help is greatly appreciated..

i did a soak and clean already just not getting much for black on the test pattern, thanks

My tech told me when your pump stops making all them clicking sounds thats when you need a new pump. You can try a fill-up ink that will get any air out of your lines If thats the problem.
