However, what's a schrader valve, and how did you clamp the other output end of the clear hose to the Morse cable to avoid leaks from the pump pressure? Thanks, Garrett

I know what a Schrader Valve is, but the second part of your question has me puzzled too. George of Scaramouche, Lake Ontario, Canada

>Something I need to do, too. However, what's a schrader valve, and how did Schrader valve is the air valve used on car, bicycle tires etc. You could use an old valve scrounged from your local tire dealer. >you clamp the other output end of the clear hose to the Morse cable to avoid >leaks from the pump pressure? !/2 inch hose clamps - there is not much pressure and so what if it leaks a little. Caveat: It worked in our instance. But!!! I was under the impression the sheath (the part the core slides against) in these cables was a teflon type material, as opposed to being metallic and they got stiff because the core wore a groove in it at the bends. The WD40 would clean out any "guck" that may be making it stiff though. Have fun John
