Doug, you and I are at the same spot. I pressure bled my TOB this week. First start was last Sunday. I don't know much about ERA's but with my FFR I have to create a pedal-stop. I've heard that if the pedal has too much travel you can over-extend the TOB and
oil down the clutch. So you may have to limit it's travel. I don't know if your ERA has one already but I thought I'd mention it...
