Thanks again Jamie,

It's been a trial and error routine for me...I get a little more vac each time I fix something or change something..when I pulled the pump last night, I emptied the strainer and it was clogged up with "gunk" from my lines..so to get 12" out of it with it all clogged, I may get more next time. 12" of vac is better than none anyways...I noticed rings shooting around all my saddle loops which I usually don't get so I know it's helping pull something!
