Dan; There was alcohol in the bellows which I drained out. I experimented by injecting an unknown volume of methyl alcohol in, It has the lowest boiling point of the alcohols. I soldered up the hole and heated the unit up and it worked. I keep no records of volume or temperature, just wanted to see if I could get it to work. It will be several years before my 1200 is ready to test it.
