Don't want to get into a fight, but if you are applying suction to the brake line, the best you can do is one atmosphere, about 14.7 psi. The pressure method applied to the master cylinder allows more. I had the dial gauge showing 30psi and me constantly pumping once it got to 28psi. Still only a dribble at the rears. Put 4 lire (about a US gallon) through the first line (passenger rear). Saw no air bubbles and the brakes are solid. This happened on both the "S" and the "E". Is there some form of restricter in the system. The car was not level while doing the operation and I'm wondering if the brake system responds to the "not level" position differently. For the life of me, I can't see why though. Who wants partial brakes going down an incline?
