Power bleeders can be purchased for around $30 bucks US now.
has a cap that screws right on the brake clutch fluid res and pressurizes the fluid.
Just keep the level up and go back and open the valve.

Makes bleeding a simple one person task.

  David,
       I am inclined to agree with your logic but would
  still suggest that a full stroke not be used during
  the bleeding.   Less time is needed to refill the
  displaced fluid in the master (in a shaor stroke) and
  you may get a better air free bleed.   You make a good
  point however.   gary
