The cooling water system for Touche's air conditioner plugs a couple times a year. The strainer is always clean. The pluggage is in the inlet upstream of the strainer. I have a tee in the cooling system and valves on both ends. By closing the valve on the discharge and pressuring the system with dock water, I clear the plug by blowing it back out the inlet.
Your issue sounds similar. Just blast it out with some dock water. If you need to, buy and install a female garden hose to correct size hose barb fitting like this: https://www.amazon.com/Dixon-TCF73-Tuff-Lite-Fitting-Coupling/dp/B007D5LJ50/ref=pd_sim_328_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=31dVoiBzLFL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL320_SR320%2C320_&psc=1&refRID=W0CKWV75CK99PMQQN6EW If you have a garden hose spray nozzle with male garden hose threads, you're all set.
