Guys - Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. After trying the blowing into the reservior method, then the "Mity-Vac", and finally giving up, I decided to read this web site for good useful ideas. They were great, but here is one more which I tried today and found it to be very effective. As suggested, I used an old bicycle inner tube from a cheldren's bike which is about 1 1/4 inch in diameter - not the too small ten speed size. This is the same tube which I have used in the past to check the radiator for leaks by cutting and then clamping each open end onto the radiator inlet and outlet to pressurize the radiator via the valve stem. I topped off the brake/clutch fluid reservior, rolled and clamped the open end of the inner tube with a C clamp as suggested, fastened the other end with a hose clamp over the brake fluid/clutch reservoir, attached my little electric tire inflator pump onto the valve stem, and attached a clear plastic tube to the bleeder valve with a catch can at the end. After turning on the tire inflator pump I openend the bleeder valve. I stopped the pump after about 30 seconds to check on everything and all seemed fine. I topped off the reservior again and preceeded. After maybe one minute I closed the bleeder valve and turned off the pump to inspect and refill. One or two more repetitions and I had a good clutch. I didn't buy any fancy pressurizer system, just used old stuff which was laying around waiting for that special application some day. Worked great! Hope this will be helpful to someone else.
