I feel your pain, Adrian. I don't think there is any substitute for a
helping hand in this case. I had a friend help me bleed the clutch on my
Midget a couple of weeks ago and I'll bet he pumped that clutch at least
50 times before we got all the air out of it. I think as someone else
said you have to pump pretty vigorously to get that trapped bit in the
line.
Where are you? Maybe a lister is nearby and can shoot over and help you
out.
