    Default Troubleshooting this pen

    This is a Chinese pen that goes by the brand Montefiore. I have a few other of their pens and they write well. When I saw this on Ebay and thought I'd pick it up since I enjoyed my others.

    It will only write if its straight up as in the attached photo. I think I've done everything I can do to the nib and feed there is.

    How do I get it to write better.

    It doesn't write at all in the normal position?

    Check for "baby bottom".

    Did you wash out the system before filling with ink?

    Sounds like a severe case of baby's bottom is possible here.

    Assuming the nib and feed are both perfectly clean and seated correctly inside the section then there aren't many other options I can think of.
