Need Help mutoh 1204 not printing

[selpats]

let this machine sit idle for 6 months in moving situation. so it would print duh! i have put a new head and a new maintenance station in.... now for some reason im not pulling any ink. maybe a small amount of red.
dampers are cleaned as well... so am i pulling air from some where.
any input welcomed

was the machine plugged in, did you drain the ink before letting it sit idle.
there is a special shut down and start up procedure for long term storage.
you can check all the dampers and o-rings. if it was unplugged and ink not drained you might have to replace tubes and such to clean the old ink out.
use a syringe and draw the ink into the dampers.

it appears the ink is moving in the tubes, dampers don't appear plugged either... ill pull some again...so lost on this.
thanks for your suggestions
