"How much air pressure would be needed to unclog the lines? I have a tiny little compressor,..."

I would remove the filter rather try to blow it clean. It was meant to be replaceable at one time.

That means checking to see if there even is a filter, by draining the tank and then removing a large brass plug. Mine was on the right-forward area of the tank bottom. There may also have been a smaller drain plug, but I'm not sure now. With the big plug out, the filter was easy to pull straight down and off the pick-up pipe.

I left the filter off, on the advice from someone where I bought a 2 new ones—Swedish Motors or something like that. I still have those new ones kicking around—about 3/4" in diameter and 2" long, with a hole at one end for the pick-up pipe.
