You said that the backup vacuum was no help -- please elaborate. Was
it inop, or was there not enough vaccum to spin the DG and AI back up?
Did you reduce the throttle setting to increase the engine vacuum?

Lots of us have an alternate vacumm system installed, and would like
some insight into why yours did not help you out.



I'm curious about that too. Like to know why that was a non-starter,
before taking comfort in something that's not going to help when you need
it.

Otherwise - congrats. I'd have been scared - like to think I would have
had your presence of mind.
