Congratulations! =A0I still remember when I fi= rst started and ran my 3-rotor using a temporary intake manifold and a Holl= ey 4-BBL carb. with no exhaust. =A0The dog still won't go into the gara= ge. =A0;-) =A0

I don't think hitting the purge tank with pressuriz= ed air will help. =A0Maybe you could try using the garden hose instead of a= ir pressure. =A0Open the heater port and force water into the engine/WP via= the purge tank. =A0The 3-rotor has a place on the WP housing for a sensor = that I remove which will allow air to escape from the pump side of the WP h= ousing thereby priming the WP. =A0Some have drilled a very small hole at th= e top of the WP cavity allowing automatic purging. =A0
