Hey!
I now don't recall which of the two spridget lists had
people complain of sucking air when bleading brakes with a
mityvac, but I was about to comment, than coincidently on
the ducati this morning:

All the air leakage

There is even a tube of appropriate red girling brake
grease available that is perfet for this. that is what I
have used when doing the mityvac thing in the past and it
works great
......but on the other hadn my old trusty glass jar with 1"
brake fluid in bottom and a hose connected to the nipple
has worked for twenty years, so I too returned the mityvac
to my friend I borrowed it from(but will someday pick up
one.
There is an altermate pressure bleader that hooks up to
master-cylanders, but you need a screw on resivoir top. it
comes with adapters for many diferent sized, pretty cool
tool really.
