I don't think my motor could be the only one with the mud wasp problem. The service mgr doesn't seem to care about sending someone out to clear the rubber tube each time I guess.
The rubber tube could never be blown out...I watched the tech as he worked on it and he had to flex the tube with his hands a few times before he could get water to come through. Mud was hard and dry inside the tube. I think the best route right now is to block the hole.
