Subject:      Air Bleeder Installation for 1.9L water-cooled boxer
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Hi All,
I have an 84 Westy-4sp -1.9L engine.  The water-hose bleeder's stem broke
off right in front of my house after a long trip to a remote area in Baja
California.  Talk about being lucky, since I did not have a spare one with
me.
Can any one advise the procedure of how to install an air bleeder.  And if
additional coolant is needed, what is the coolant/water mixture? This is the
plastic part with an H shape mounted on the firewall in the engine
compartment.  All four ends of the H shape are connected to the water
coolant hoses.  The stem is located in the middle of the H pattern and
connected to a smaller hose.  And finally above the stem is the thumb nut
for some sort of adjustment.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers!
