Some clown cut a barb-type coupler fitting in half to make two couplers. Found one of the halves where it leaked and replaced it . I guess the other half will blow out eventually. Plugged the whole sydtem and pressurized from a hose bib. Found two separate couplers with no hose clamps.
And this is where I started to work smarter, not harder. Had a dead section that passed in front of a bedroom, under the driveway next to a massive tree, and then to a garden in front of the living room. Too many roots to dig -- what nightmare. Even tried chasing it with s conduit chase. no luck. No flow from sprinkler pump. Hooked hose to a dead sprinkler head and pressurized for two hours. disconnected in front of bedroom -- no flow. So I bought three splitters and a bunch of adapters. ran a hose to a dead sprinkler head and ran a hose to the supply on the other side of the driveway. Then I could open and close valves to quickly alternate pressure from one side to another. Did it about six times each way and suddenly water and dirt was flowing. Blew out the clog and its ready to go.
