Air leak
Stephen,

You are correct, there is a pump behind the screen, however, it
is in a state of partial disassembly and has been disconnected. Back
to the drawing board.It is possable the air operated vacuume
generator was retro-fitted, or I just have a missing connection.
Looks like a little more digging is in order.

Thanks,
Gardner
