On my Kolb (Freebird calipers, Hegar master cylinders, no reservoir),
I attach tubing to the bleeder screw on the caliper which runs up to a
funnel (made from a 1 liter soda bottle). I fill the funnel with
brake fluid and hang it above the level of the master cylinders (let
fluid run down to fill the tubing until it's full before attaching it
to the bleeder screws on the calipers), open the bleeder screws at
both ends, and go do something else until bubbles stop coming out the
cylinder bleeder screws. No pumps required.

. . . Are there any tricks to bleed the brakes on this homebuilt?
Four master cylinders, one on each pedal, running to two 'T's, *where a
single tube continues to each wing. *Thinking of *using a vacumn pump, to
pull the fluid down to the caliper.
Also, can anyone reccommend a good radio service shop in the Northwest?

Reverse bleed .... from the brakes into the master cylinders? Works
on lots of brake systems.
