I'm trying to bottle a batch of beer, it's dry hopped out the wazoo with whole leaf hops (floating free in the carboy) I cannot get the beer out and I've tried 3 auto syphons and even tried turning it on it's side only to achieve upsetting a perfectly happy yeast cake. seriously not a happy guy right now.
 
If you have a nylon hop bag - or even a pair of nylon stockings - cut a square ~5 inches on a side, sanitized it and a small rubber band, then rubber-band the nylon mesh over the auto syphon tip. Once you have it secure, slide the cloth/rubber band down so the material is loose around the tip to maximize the filter area, then start syphoning...

Cheers!
