Thanks, David -
I removed the operating rod (metering pin) yesterday and inspected the hole in 
the pin.  It did not appear to be plugged, and I was able to manually 
(mouthfully?)blow through the pin easy enough, while using a paper towel to 
catch any crud/evidence.  Oil came out, but no crud.  I'll clean it and inspect 
it more thoroughly this afternoon.  I hope the solution will be that easy.

Are there other similar orifices in the oil passages that could cause the same 
problems if plugged?
