a BUNN coffee maker has a tightly wound spring that they use to clean out the siphon arm of the scaled lime inside. quite possible you can use this in a portable electric drill to clear out the arms. regular light machine oil attacks rubber and makes it slimy after a while - try this. acetone attacks most plastics. paint and varnish remover has toluene and methylene chloride mixed in it. a standard fish tape (electricians use this) is made of a spring steel, 1/16" X 1/8" wide. try jamming this into the tube and forcing out the wire.
