Pilot pens are supposed to come with a three year guarantee - so why not send it back to Pilot, and have them sort it out?
Why not flush............get a pc of brass from Goulet (I use a razer blade myself) to insert between the tines, fill with a wetter ink and back that knob-off all the way, even moving the plunger a tad to get it going? I use both Noodlers and Skrip in mine with excellent results
I have never received any FP purchased from Pilot to have issues and I have at least a dozen. You can also pull the nib if needed as they are friction fitted to clean nib and feed of any sludge that might have unfortunately gathered to ruin your day?
The secret of getting ahead is getting started-- Mark Twain
I implore you, don't do anything drastic until you've tried Pilot Blue-Black in that pen.
Well since it's only money I managed to fix it following this video on Youtube.

I have a digital microscope that helped me check my settings each time.
It's nice and wet now (well wetter than before!)
