Say whaaaa .. the dizzy rotates clockwise.

I built my own primer with a long bolt which I welded a washer to which was then welded to a short length of steel tube. Then I drilled a hole straight through both sides of the tube and pressed a nail through it. Total cost $3-4. Chuck that in a drill and it works like a charm.

Thank you. That is some of the old break fluid :-(. I filled about two jar looking like that. Went through probably 50oz of fluid before I got clear/clean brake fluid.
