I guess this is where I become technically challenged ... wouldn't a leak in
the line somewhere, improve the flow at the suction end. This just sits
there and retains suction pressure. When I disconnect the thing, the bleed
valves drip.
Last weekend I had one wheel working. I'm puzzled. But I guess I've got to
enlist a helper to pump the brakes.
It's frustrating! This morning was perfect cruising weather.
