Almost no pressure from my 411A

I bought a new Karcher 411A many years ago in a sale but never used it, until now. It has been stored in a shed over several winters but never with water in, as far as I know. I've just tried it, first there was only modest pressure, no more than the hosepipe to it, then almost no pressure. The motor starts and stops but it's no use as is. What is likely to be wrong?

    If the motor stops automatically when you release the trigger then the 'pump' is working correctly. Suspect a blockage in the spray lance and remove it. if the water flows from the gun OK (even though there will be no pressure) try another lance.
