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.

There is enough pressure to make it pop up but no water comes out of the head?
If you remove the head and turn upon the water, what happens? I would expect nothing to pop up but you should have a geyser at least six feet high.
I assume no water came out in any of your tests including the whole new head. Did it work before you changed things? Are other heads in that zone working? Do you know if any heads in that zone farther down the line are working?
Sorry, no answers just questions. With everything you’ve done it doesn’t sound like a clog in the assembly itself. It could be low pressure and checking other heads in that zone and the geyser height should help determine that.
