    Have you removed the spout? If so, and still no water, remove the cartridge and blow through the spout pipe with spout removed. If you can't blow through it, the valve body or piping to the spout is clogged, most likely with solder. You may have to unsweat the spout drop pipe from the vavle body to investigate further. Please let us know what you find.
