I have a jug of pet deodorant with one of those "Accushot" sprayers; it worked fine until the original one ran dry. I got a refill, moved the apparatus over, but it's not siphoning up the liquid into the spray-gun.

Any good ideas on how to get it started? I can't remove the hose from the gun and apply suction, though.

It shouldn't be - but you've given me an idea to try.

...aaaand it didn't work.

I found if you remove (open) the battery cover, the hose just continues obscurely up the handle of the gun. It doesn't really give much access.
