This is what I ended up doing, Im not sure why as my older intaircos do not need this. Ill think it over, I may not get to fly until spring. I just want this to work as I have 3 of them and if I give up on all 3 have to go into the trash.
I spent awhile purging air, it takes ALOT to get the air out of the filter. Never ever had this issue before. Ill keep it full and then Ill got wot and lift up the nose before flight.
