Hi all,
I have a 1976 850 Mercury and am replacing the bleeder line. At each end of this line there is a brass fitting with a hose barb to which the line attaches. I have not been able to find any info on this bleeder line in either of the manuals I have. Questions I have are listed below.
1) Are both of these fittings check valves and do they function the same. I can blow air thru the
barbed end of one of the fittings but I cannot suck air back thru it. The other will let air flow in
either direction, so I don't know if it is also a check valve or just stuck.
2) If both fittings are functioning properly, which goes to the top and which goes to the bottom.
Thanks in advance for your help,
hereto
