My latest '75 model from Oregon came to me in parts, but mostly complete. I built a 2056 with Elgin cam and twin Weber 40 IDF's and am quite happy with the results. She has a decent kick and gets 30+ mpg cruising over 70 mph. One rear caliper was missing, but I had a newly rebuilt one and changed it out. I used my shop air with about 5 psi to bleed and it worked for the most part. My pedal is about 80% of where I would like it.
Q: where is the brake fluid going? I recently sold my 356SC that had the same issue, but it had a drip in the rear circuit. This time I cannot see leakage anywhere thanks |

Thanks to all who replied, One more question: I have a new ATE M/C appears to match the failed unit to a T. I have the M/C on the bench, installed the rubber seals onto the steel tube ends, installed the new "washers" ( had to tap them in) and pushing, pushing pushing the new rubber seals into the M/C. I watched Ian's video and he mentions a "pop" sound when the seals are seated. I am unable to get a "pop". Is there another way to know if the seals are properly seated?
