    they dont look the same at all. besides, i tried to get the old one off, it was so brittle it just fell apart. so, what can i do now....the 2 wire switch is the one that fell apart. i tried just connecting the 2 wires on the new one, and leave the other 2 wires unhooked...and i get no brakelight.

    i triple checked it. its not plugged. i used a TINY needle to check it, then a hair from a paintbrush. with a high power flashlight, i can see the piston move thru BOTH holes. i got the paintbrush hair thru it no problem.

    tell me about it! yeah, forced fluid up into bore from bleeders. too much in fact, one time it shot up and hit the garage ceiling, another time overflowed bore. im sure i installed piston correctly. i pulled it out a 3rd time to to check again. cups going the right way. i squeeze the lever....and no fluid moves out....must be bad m/c. im thinking the cups just dont fill the barrell anymore. the old ones did because they were swollen...perhaps...pb&j overnighted me a m/c of an 85. will know tomorrow afternoon...

    what are the torque specs on the steering nut, pinch bolts and handlebar nuts?? thanks.
  12. reddevilmedic
    theres just under 1/8 play between lever and piston, so it is drawing all the way back

    nothing abrasive...the kit i bought looks exactly the same as what came out. i even held up the old vs. new to see if the cups were undersized. they looked the same....

    i can see the pison moving back and forth. i cleaned both holes carefully. in fast i can see bubbles come up from one hole. it just wont push fluid. i did put on a new EMGO lever, and adjusted it to push piston as far forward as i could.

    i did have to work in the plunger slightly, i more or less just slide in with very little resistance. i cleaned the reservoir really good i did have the m/c completely off and filled it, using my finger, as sugg, i tried to create pressure to move fluid out. just didnt go anywhere past the barrell. i just checked the ziptie thing again, after leaving it overnight (indoors) and nothing. the fluid barely went down, no resistance on lever at all. m/c hopefully on the way.

    im not getting any fluid past the master. i tried bleeding at each banjo bolt, start ing at master. just barely a drip would come out, and that is about every fifth or sixth try! i suspect the master is out of spec at this point, and since i removed the old plunger, the new seals just wont swell enough to fill the barrell. i got a m/c coming from pb&j, hope that does it. i will let you know. im taking a day off from it.

    i double checked it already. p.i.t.a. circlip! i want ed to make sure it didnt "fold" backwards. it didnt. everything looked good. maybe im bleeding them wrong...what is the procedure?
  24. reddevilmedic
    the rim? if it was shaped like a "[" the open part would be going into barrell first. right?
  25. reddevilmedic
    i replicated what came out. cups facing out, towards line. i tried again, and still nothing. its like the master isnt moving fluid. it just sits and the end of the cylinder and goes noes further. i get bubbles when i depress lever. just no pressure. could it be the master is so old that the cups are against the walls good?
