Hello!

I have a Solo 425 Backpack Sprayer. It's worked great, but now acts
like what the instruction manual says might be a "clogged inlet
screen." Basically the handle only pushes down with great pressure,
and nothing gets pressurized...there seems to be a clog somewhere.

The manual says this screen is located "at the bottom of the pressure
cylinder on the side that faces your back" and that it can be cleaned
"with a small bristle brush or discarded toothbrush." For the life of
me I can't find this screen, ....

Its location looks pretty clear in the manual.

Perhaps you need to partly disassemble the pressure cylinder.

Good luck.
