Hey Glenn,
Not sure if your comments were for Dave or me.
Here's what I did:
I had the fork fully collapsed with the spring and thin adjusting tube removed.
I added oil until past the 4 holes and waited for the bubbles to stop.
Bleed the cartridge by stoking it up and down until I got consisent resistance.
With everything fully collapsed, I used my syringe device to remove oil to get the level at 140 mm from the top of tube (oil is now below the holes).
Hope I didn't booger it up again!
