    Ok I bit and bought this pen..per my conversation with the seller it will draw up water and doesnt leak...so maybe I got lucky...I am up for the repairs myself.

    Remember, it inks on the down stroke. Unscrew the blind cap, pull, then put it in the ink and push down the rod to fill. If you want to test it before inking, on the down stroke, just in the air, you should hear a "pfffft" sound when you near the bottom of the stroke.
