Roderick,

For a quick fix try using a vacuume cleaner output.  Removing the bag will
give a little more throughput.  The output of a shop-vac worked well for
me, however I did eventually have the same problem.  I switched over to a
7A leaf blower, and have used it in a pig system up to a couple of kW with
no problems.  It sure makes a lot of noise though!

Here's to the creative use of household appliances!
