Suuuuure,hook up a vacuum meter and suck it down......note the rate of leak down.
VERYYYYyy slow,but a gradual leak down?..pull it..nice unit.
PUMP LIKE A MAD MAN FOR NO REAL GAIN???
blow it off,the diaphragm is shot,and not worth your time to bother playing with it unless you REAALLLLLLY want to know it's inner most workings.
oh yeah,faster AND furious..Heh Heh Heh

better to be thought the fool..
rather then to open one's mouth and confirm it

use may include risk factors these include;anal leakage,oily discharge,copious flatulence,bloating,incontinence,erectile dysfunction,body rejecting genitals,a racing or severely diminished heart rate/including death. discontinue use if health insurance ends,or patient turns blue and doctor leaves after declaring patient has died...your results may vary
