Default Micro irrigation

Have been given a kit for the greenhouse whilst on hols. Previous owner
couldn't make it work and neither can I. It comprises a pressure reducer
joint, black tubing and a number of plastic drippers and joints. The
problem is that when connected up the flow at the ends of the pipes is a
steady drip but this tapers off the nearer to the reducer joint you get.
If you adjust the flow for a consistent drip close to the joint the
steady drip tuns into a steady stream at the ends of the network. Have
tried varying the pressure but with no success. Can anyone offer any help?
