So if I'm follow this correctly

I did not allow enuff back pressure to build up. That's why nothing happened. Neither gear responded.

So if I do try this again (not sure I will)

I should pull it for a quarter mile at 35 then drop it from N to S.

And presto it should start.

It should start at 35mph. I'd give it a try.
