hatzie, I was thinking something along those lines as I think there might be air trapped. But since I'm north of the border that price doubles.

I was looking at this and if it doesn't work it will be easy for me to return.

Missed that. Just checked Amazon.ca $110 for just the pressure pot and no adapters OWCH!!!

I've used a Mityvac for bleeding and was not impressed. The bleeder threads leak air... If you sacrifice a rear and a front bleeder by drilling all the way through it'll work. But then you need a replacement for each modified bleeder.

Check on component prices for the DIY weed sprayer unit. Canadian Tire has Chapin weed sprayers for $20 and bottom and rear threaded pressure gauges are $10... clear tubing and the other assorted bits are likely not that expensive.

You can make a reasonable facsimile of the Motive 1105 MC adapter with brass pipe, AL or steel plate, threaded rod, & a chunk of rubber inner tube.
