Hey!  I like it! Jim

    Has the appeal of simplicity, low cost and easily adjustable.  Did I, by
chance, ever mention that "Concepts are easy... the Devil is in the
details"?.  Well, the first prong of the pitch fork I see with the idea -
is - We somehow have to keep the lower pressure in the manifold (at idle for
example) from sucking the rubber tubes closed.  So the concept is ..err
great, err, but needs some more  work on the details{:>)
