Is it suppose to feel hard on the first push. The pedal goes almost all the way down, then the 2nd and 3rd pump the pedal feels hard, but if I wait a few seconds the hard pedals goes away ?? Is this normal for an early 71 with 19mm MC or do I still have air in the system. I bleed it with the Motive Power bleeder and manual bleeding it with the speed bleeders. Is the problem with the speed bleeders ? I recently rebuilt all the calipers and install new lines, no leaks, but the MC is used though.
Let me know your experiences fellas ? Ted |

After the initial bleed the first few pumps may be soft. Later it should be firm. I think you still have air. You could try the old trick... Open one bleeder, push down on the pedal as fast as you can, then lift as slow as you can. repeat. start at the bleeder closest to the MC. End at the bleeder farthest from the MC. The fast pedal movement can help to force out the air. Slow pedal movement keeps it from moving back to the MC.
Is this a new MC? did you bench bleed it first? |
