John-

Thanks for helping out with some of your hard-earned wisdom.  It often
sounds like you've had an IH of some sort forever!  Anyway, to check
this volume, do I turn the engine over for a literal minute and time it
to get a true flow speed?  Or do you mean to just check to see that it
keeps coming through after the initial spurt.  Will I need to measure
the ounces it spits in a minute?  Is that the idea, or am I over doing
it?

Thanks!

Michael
