I emagine if it stuck or clogged it could be remidied by soaking it in some sort of non faris solvent for awhile and clean it out. if it is clogged that may mean it has some sort of filtration element and in that case I emagine it could be opened somehow. if it is stuck you may want to wait until someone can give you a definitive anser. I would not attempt to do seriuos work to it without knowing for sure since they dont make them anymore and prices for good used ones will be outrageous. you can always convert to a 12v version and have the luxury of being able to replace parts. sorry I could not tell you what you want to know.

Turns out it was fine, just needed a little WD40, put 45Psi on it and now it works like a champ!
