Step 9Connect the pumpkin
Place the pumpkin on the pie pan. Connect the tubing from the back of the pumpkin to the pump. Plug in the pump and the "blood" should flow from the eyes. The blood should flow on the surface of the pumpkin, down to the pie pan, through the funnel, and back in to the bucket.
Lessons learned...
1. It took some trial and error to get the tubing lengths correct. Trim off a little at a time until you get the desired length.
2. The first time I connected everything, I didn't have enough water in the bucket. I could not get the water to come out the eyes. Adding more water solved the problem.
3. Because of the size of the mouth you may get some water inside the pumpkin. If this happens, cut holes in the bottom of the pumpkin to drain the excess water.
