96 VLX...ok so they worked when I bought it two months ago...now they rarely read unless I am going around 30 in which they read 5/10.... <BR> <BR>I have heard they get dirty...is this common, how can I fix them? <BR>Thanks!

Backing up for a way may clear the pitot or a staightened paper clip gently pushed through the back might clear them.

Use a very small paper clip. They also make a tool that cleans them out. You can get one from the dealer. It looks like a super small drill drill bit.

thanks for the info...i will see if i can find the hole in the back of the pitot and gently clean it...hope it does the trick. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0> we are finding it difficult to hold a good speed with the rpm using different weights...and we are too cheap for perfect pass....hopefully for xmas!
