Is there a mesh screen in there somewhere...to keep out the critters like mice and chipmunks etc.
Sometimes in the summer the wasps and hornet will be a darn nice nest in there too.

Point is...do you know there is nothing that has gotten in there and is now partially restricting the outlet.?

Eddie,
I'm with McGiever on this, after seeing the Tee on the vent. If it's easy to remove the tee, shine a light in there and see if any 4-legged critters have made a home!!!
Good luck.

Make sure its the model 25 and not the model 27..
I made that mistake. Luckily, they let me trade it.
The Dwyer 460 works well also with less mess. http://www.dwyer-inst.com/Product/TestEquipment/M ... y/Model460
