[Spridgets] got a bleeder...

[Marc]

   I'm not sure what a compensator is, but my understanding is that the H
   shaped  device is a switch that senses a pressure differential between
   the  front  and  rear  circuits to warn of a problem should there be a
   pressure loss in either circuit... That's tied to the warning light on
   the dash.

Then you have two brake circuits. On the right front fender well there
should be an "H" shaped compensator. This routes the hydraulic
pressure. If I remember correctly the two circuits are the left side
of the car and the right side of the car. My Haynes manual describes
the bleeding sequence for this system. Somebody more familiar with
this jump in here and give Marc a hand....

 What year is the car? On later cars there are two brake circuits to bleed.

 well, sort of... Got a big ol bottle of Castrol LMA brake juice and
filled it up and commenced bleeding. I'm having fun...

Background - all new hoses, wheel cylinders, rebuilt calipers... Master
was pretty much empty...

started at RR, attached mityvac & reservoir, pulled vacuum on bleeder
till fluid began to flow, continued to LR, then RF and LF. Just can't
get a good pedal.... pumping 2 - 3 times gets some pressure, hold that
and crack the bleeders, seems to get a bunch more air out...

Have done this procedure several times on MGB's with great success.
Never had a spridget before. Letting it sit overnight, will bleed again
tomorrow. Maybe the air will have migrated some by then.

Any special spridget tricks or incantations I should know? Wave a rubber
chicken over it?
