Tom,
Did you attempt to bench bleed the M/C before re-installing on car?
If you get about 18 inches of clear tubing, the correct size and an
empty container (Preferrably clear also), you go back to the old 2
person method of bleeding. I have a Mityvac plus I bought the EZBleeder
and was truly disappointed in both products. Still had to go back to
what works best. I wish I had the old pressure bleeder we used in the
Shop where I worked when I was younger (much younger). You could bleed
all four w/c in about 10 minutes. And didn't have to worry about
spraying brake fluid everywhere.
