Outwest: How was the bleed air siphoned-off the engine please?
Not sure how the fitting was actually made, but I do seem to remember that it only pressurized the drum by about 1 or 2 psi. There was a regular female air fitting just inside the step on the right hand side of the a/c. You just connected it like you would an air hose to an air compressor. I have used hand wobble pumps, electric pumps, Honda powered pumps....you name it, and the very best was that simple bleed air system.

The Gazzo was a great machine, pass anything but a fuel station

Believe it or not, I actually found a photo of me standing beside EDG, I would have been 22 years old at that time.......man I wish I was still that skinny and had hair again

I would post it, but first I don't know how and second there would be a flood of old friends with wise cracks
