Red face Strange problem with an irrigation head

I have been taking care of my own irrigation for years but have run into a problem I have not seen before. I removed a pop up to install an extension to make it higher and when I went to test it the pop up came up and was charged with water but nothing was coming out even though the head was set to the desired opening.
I have tried:
Checking filter - put in new
Took off head and flushed pipe for 20 seconds
Replaced with new adjustable head
Replaced the inner guts completely with another set of guts
Put in a whole new pop up of another brand

If anyone has any other ideas I would love to hear from you.
